That sounds surprisingly nice for a coach!

Scanias do!

Yes, these are nice. Quite quick off the line too unlike Scania 200 series buses because these Scania coaches are 400 series! Although I wouldn’t plan a trip to veg any, I have debated wether to film one at the back purely for its sounds because it does sound nice for a coach! Two other examples you may enjoy are Volvo B9R and Volvo B13R. There is still the odd Volvo B7R in service, only example I know is Moffat & Williamson in Fife on routes such as 66, 69 and 70. At a rally, you’ll want to consider the coach version B10M just as much as the bus version, both are MONSTERS!

I did study the 444 route from Cirencester on a map and Streetview to reach the M4. What puzzles me is how the coach gets out Cirencester from the westbound bus stop? The streets beyond this stop are narrow and have difficult corners to turn. I thought it would be worth the while stopping at The Forum instead of the outskirts. Anyone else been on it?

Same coach stop that was used back in the 70's, when I was driving coaches on express services. Seems some things remain the same.

The perfect man appears to have answered a question I couldn’t! I waited to see if anyone else would step in before I said something myself. Wouldn’t have been terrifically helpful even if I did as I’m not *that* familiar with Cirencester, I only moved near the A420 in neighbouring Oxfordshire 4 years ago as it is. I’m originally from Wycombe so that’s the area I know best

I’m afraid I don’t work for National Express or any company that operate services on their behalf, so I can be of no assistance to you Sorry about that. Hopefully you’ll find the answers you’re looking for soon 🤞
