I did like those Berkhofs. They had more presence than the Plaxton Paramounts of the same era, looking much more sophisticated (at least to my eyes).
A shame that they were lost so soon, but the days of the "Local Express" services such as Green Line and the Midland Red companies Midland Express branded services were numbered. Today there are so few of those routes left, and those which have survived are operated by buses rather than coaches. :(
You are right Ross just a few commuter services out of London etc, not even enough limited-stop more direct bus services either to shorten the journey although West Midlands does not too far away.
