Wish they sold it and kept S512 KFL!

Found it's way onto the 10A this afternoon.

It was nice to see 252 on the 122 today:

Also, 151 seemed to have made its way onto Chesters judging by photos on Facebook!

It's nice to see a few ex Impera drivers that have been hired by Avon, I seen a driver last week and one today driving the 17 in his Impera uniform. I wonder if anymore have been hired by them

That's great news - I had that a few weeks ago on the 10/10A/11 and it was dreadful at accelerating, rode roughly and had excessive fumes at the back!

As far as I know, up to about six are at Avon at the moment (one left after a week or two).

They've certainly served their purpose well, I kind of liked these even if they did have the Capital bodywork.
