Here's something a bit different. Y747TGH was photographed near East Cowes (Isle of Wight) on 30th March 2023. Named Son of Vlad, it is a Volvo B7TL Plaxton President bus converted to open-top for use as a tree lopper. The bus was new to Go-Ahead London as their PVL247, later transferring to fellow Go-Ahead company Southern Vectis for further passenger use as number 1947. It, along with similar PVL246/1946, was then rebuilt with an open top to allow access for staff to cut-back trees that could otherwise damage service buses. 1947 remained on the Isle of Wight, while 1946 moved back to the main-land with Go South Coast. |
