From Justin Moor at 2008-03-04 19:44:40 : Did you make a note of the identities of these 3 buses? Ive worked out that the Atlantean on the 669 has to be TRN485V, by virtue of the BEC ad and the lack of "Exact Fare Bus" sign at the front. 1485 was the only one that had a poppy red re-spray after these signs were issued. It had previously displayed a black allover ad for Sanyo & Fisher at County Store. 1485 was later painted yellow for an allover ad for "Live In Style" at the time the VRT's were transferred to Hampshire, because LHG457T had previously worn it.
From Mark Bowerbank at 2008-03-05 21:07:53 : For the record, the VRT is 1453 and the Atlanteans are 1479 in ayres red and 1485 in poppy red. Just checked my original negative scan! Pleased to be reviving so many memories.
