Unique Tiger Lynx spotted!!!

Post by Vitalstatistix »

Go Bus 42 Leyland Tiger Lynx was spotted heading into the city just before 2pm this afternoon while I was heading out to Bayfair. As my jaw dropped at the sight of it (still in origional Hamilton City Buses livery) I scrambled myself together and caught the next bus back into the city and to my suprise it was parked up awaiting a charter of school students. 8)

I managed to get many photos of this bus and the driver, who has been driving it for the past 3 or so years was very kind and imformative of 42. I would suggest sooner rather than later is the case if you want a close up look of it as I believe its now the very last bus still in full Hamilton City Buses livery with logo.

Photos will be coming up before weeks end.

She looks brand new inside, but yes she does look tired on the exterior. The trim is starting to wear a little as well.
