(040'633) - Aus England: Scarlet, West Cornforth - RIL 1028 - Van Hool am 28.

Definitely parked that there!!
RIL 1028 (or F241 TBC as it was registered when new) was "my" coach at this time. A Van Hool Alizee C51Ft bodied Volvo B10M-60, new in 1989.
Built to a basic specification, with single glazed windows, forced air ventilation and a toilet/servery, Scarlet Band Coaches only bought it with the intention of using it on UK tours for 1 year. As can be sen, it was still operating on the Continent at 11 years of age! Quite a reliable workhorse, it could be sent anywhere in Europe without any worries! Unlike modern vehicles, it didn't have a computer controling things!!
