| Bus services in the Wiltshire town of Swindon were for many years provided by the council-owned Thamesdown Transport. It was eventually sold to the Go-Ahead group in 2017, leaving fewer than ten UK bus companies running as 'municipals'. Go-Ahead combined the operation with its existing Go South Coast fleet, though the actual fleetname was changed to 'Swindon's bus company'. Andrew visited their depot on 22nd September 2021 and photographed Scania R480 recovery truck SF08JYR still carrying the now defunct fleetname. The name is also most likely carried by the preserved double-deck bus hiding inside the building behind. Parked alongside were three Ford Transit minibuses in plain white, believed to be in use as crew ferry vehicles but carrying 'Go South Coast' legal lettering. |
