Thick fur coats and scarfs were the order of the day when I went to Gothenberg in January. Actually by their standards with daytime temperatures just above freezing point it was quite a mild spell and agreeably very pleasant in the winter sunshine. Typical of the City Buses was this Wiima bodied Volvo No.121. A group of us came on a DFDS Winter Cruise which stopped here for a couple of days and not only did we use the boat as a hotel they kept the bar open for us so we wouldn't have to go out into the cold night or pay Swedish Drink Prices.
Wouldn't that be funny... with Fred behind the wheel. Unfortunately the Swedish haven't got that kind of humour. The coachwork manufacturer is called WIIMA. Don't ask me to pronounce that. By the way, lots of these Volvo WIIMA buses got exported to Portugal.
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't know that, I expect their good heating didn't get much use in Portugal though.
