Greetings,

While en-route to work on, IIRC, Friday 01st April (it may have been Thursday 31st March) I saw a single-deck bus on the back of what I think may have been a breakdown truck. If I saw correctly, albeit only for a second or two, the bus had vinyls on to suggest it was electric. I was unable to get the registration or bus type but it was too long to be an Enviro200, MMC or non.

The vehicle was white and the only other operator I can think of which uses white buses is Bristol International Airport for its airside (terminal to plane) shuttles.

I am just wondering if anybody else might have seen this vehicle and know any more?

Cheers,
Dave

Quite possibly a Cobus airside transit bus.
They are not normally taxed/registered for use outside the airport and may not be legal on UK roads (too wide/long), hence the low loader.

Your post is rather vague!

Where was this bus seen - which town, road, direction of travel etc.? Did you see which haulier was being used to move the vehicle?

The only geographical clue you have given is the mention of Bristol Airport.

Sorry - I thought I had put it in the opriginal post and think I did originally but then edited it. Coronation Road, Bristol was where I saw it but no idea as to the hauler. The vehicle was heading outbound.
