Well I cannot articulate as I don't know a great deal about this RN Volvo articulated bus but I expect it has a Salvador Caetano body as the very flat portercabin slab-like sides and wide pillars either side of the entrance/exit doors remind me strongly of those mid-Eighties Lancia trolleybuses that look as though they were cut and folded and made of cardboard from off the back of a Weetabix Packet. Those trolleybuses could be seen in Porto and Coimbra but I'm not too sure about the location of this beauty. No doubt my RN fans will know.
This Volvo B10M has a Camo bodywork and the photo was taken at Praça de Espanha, Lisbon.
ReplyDeleteKeep going with the RN photos!
Another thing about this Volvo.
ReplyDeleteIt was from 1983 and passed from Rodoviária Nacional to Transportes Sul do Tejo. Later it went to Rodoviária de Lisboa, to Caneças depot (where i work), and it was only withdraw from service a few days ago!
Thanks for the photo!
