Andrew has been getting about a bit lately and took this photo in Dundee on 12th November 2022. The subject is ST20BVB, a Ford Tourneo Custom minibus in a distinctive silver/gold livery and lettered for Xplore Dundee. The main provider of bus services in Dundee has traded under several names over the years. Prior to 1975 it was Dundee Corporation, then changed to Tayside Buses. After a period of being management-owned it was sold to the National Express group and rebranded as Travel Dundee in 1997. This was changed again to National Express Dundee in 2008 and finally (for now) to Xplore Dundee in 2015. Interestingly this name has been retained even though the company was sold to the McGills group (latterly a small independent operator in Strathclyde) in 2020. The vehicle shown had a fleetnumber (7431) on a small label near the front number plate and a plural form of lettering for 'Operational Support Vehicles'. Curiously another Ford parked nearby had the singular version of this. |
