2017 programme looks at Orkney and the town of Kirkwall as they deal with the visit of a cruise ship:
Redwoods Coaches YN03WPV is a Scania K114/Irizar new to Excalibur of Nunhead, while J and V Coaches FJ58LSE is a Volvo B12B/Jonckheere new to Clynnog and Trefor:
First sign of a passing artic, which is then revealed as LX03HEU, a Mercedes 0530G new as Selkent 23034, but seen here with J and V Coaches of Stromness:
A good line-up of coaches awaiting the ship:
Another J and V Coaches artic, SJ51LPA, a Wright-bodied Scania L94UA:
The size of the Mercedes is very obvious:
Here's a comparison of the Scania and the Mercedes in action:
VUN421, a Volvo B12M/Van Hool, was new to Darley Ford Coaches of Liskeard Cornwall as WK06AEC, before finding its way to J and V, but the Andrews Jonckheere can't be identified:
….nor can this:
SJ51LPA still carries elements of the livery of its original owner, Doigs of Glasgow:
This Susundegui coach can't be identified:
Back at J and W's base, MAN 18.360/Marco Polo PO54NAA gets a wash and brush up, although I can't id the Mercedes:
