Recently they have made improvements to the old harbour area and along the Plymouth Hoe restricting vehicle access somewhat which is a pity as it was a good place to photograph coaches in rather more interesting locations than just the concrete and tarmac of the bus station at Bretonside. Another bonus was as well as the seaside atmosphere, there were often if one was patient girls coming along too like this pair about to walk past this fine Plaxton bodied Leyland Leopard in the well known fleet of Silcox Coaches of Pembroke Dock in South West Wales. Is it just me but unlike in the world of today with it's Amarda of imported high-floored imports that remind me slightly of baby whales I do really miss the crisp straight lines of simple but sleek vehicles like this former National Travel (South West) coach. Of course another reason might be that they were usually built on for my generation at least a much more charismatic AEC or Leyland Chassis.
