BMC Condor in bad condition

[Ballyheigue]

I don't know who owns an 07 reg BMC Condor in what looks like Grey or a shade of dull Silver, but I saw it on York Road in Leeds on Friday and it looked like a lot of the nearside panels were going rusty. I couldn't see from the lettering who owned it and it had no destination or route number either, but it had streaks of what looked like rust down the side in several places, it possibly could be a bus on the way to be scrapped that's been stored outside for a long time but if it's one in use then I feel sorry for the driver as I bet he's thinking is it safe!

If it's the one I've seen a pic of, it's YJ07XME which belongs to A&A Coach Travel. It does have roller destination equipment and rust is certainly not unusual on those bodies.

I've never seen one with rust to that extent, in fact it's rare I've seen one with rust, the last one was an all white one belonging to CT Plus so it was easy to see.

Those BMC buses have done pretty well to see nearly 20 years of use, lots of people said they were cheap rubbish when new and that they wouldn’t last.
