There's nothing new under the sun


I'm starting to get a lot more visits especially from enthusiasts in Switzerland and Portugal including Carlos who likes the orange and cream buses of the nationalised RN. Slowly I am downloading the images I hope you want to see including this fine UTIC bodied AEC Regal No.8989 photographed in Evora still wearing it's pre-RN colours. But take a good look at the crisp styling on this lovely old coach and you quickly realise that there's nothing terribly new about the striking angular lines of today on Britain's roads most emanated from European places like Portugal.

    Pedro I thought you might enjoy this one I certainly do. I glad you like it and hopefully enough to forgive me for calling you Carlos. Is RN still a going concern or has it all been broken up and sold to the likes of our Arriva?

    Of course I forive you, Chris!
    RN no longer exist.
    It was broken in several companies and privatised. The Cascais-Sintra area, became Stagecoach Portugal in 1995 and in 2001 Stagecoach sold the company and leave Portugal.
    Is it possible to have the photos with more definition?
