2 August 2009 - Stokes Bay, Gosport, Hampshire (UK) – Interior view of a Goldline MAN – Hand-stitched Italian leather seats and thick carpets. I wonder how long these will last when our British graffiti-merchants and knife-carrying vandals get aboard? At the moment, though, a very nice travel experience.
2 August 2009 - Stokes Bay, Gosport, Hampshire (UK) – The first MAN Enviro buses in the UK Stagecoach fleet were bought in 2009 to run a high quality, high frequency service on the former Aldershot and District Line 1 on the Surrey/Hampshire borders. The route is marketed as ‘Goldline’ and fourteen of these MAN buses are used.
