Looks like the Merc will sell Mr Whippy but the VW proper hard Cornish ice cream... Wink Wink Wink

Reckon they'll be allocated to the 99..........

Are you sure it lacks a display? The top 30% or so of the windscreen is obscured by something that looks more substantial than merely a sun visor.

Comparing with this Mercedes 'van': https://www.flickr.com/photos/nicksbuscoach/16772509669/ (which I accept is a different model) I think the fitting for a traditional blind is there but whatever blind was in it has been removed (or perhaps one was never installed) and underneath there's a bit of a sun visor.

Or perhaps intended for Dial a Ride services?

The little gem signs are original. They bought about 10 signs from the museum of transport when the first of their resprays was displayed a few years ago

A more reasonable vehicle out on the 84/84A today is MAN Enviro200 CX60 AAU new to Express Motors.


RE: Go Goodwins - Mayneway - 30/04/2019 09:51

Just as I suggested on here last week it’s a real hash of things. Little Gem branded bread vans, a plain white Enviro200 and the Go goodwins liveried spryte Dart were used on newly gained services yesterday.

Couldn't see the reg, but a double decker is on the 84A today. A little over the top for a service carrying about half a dozen passengers

Post on twitter shows newly applied retro fleet numbers with a new EC Eccles depot code

Just looking from the outside I thought rotala bought Goodwin's did it not happen?
