When Epsom Coaches finished in June 2017, it operated a fleet of Setra 416 GT HD coaches, which were the kings of the road, in their iconic red and cream livery. The coaches were parked up for quite a long time, but eventually went to then RATP Dev subsidiary Yellow Buses, to provide capacity for the season in the seaside town. Although the base livery was retained, the Yellow Coaches fleet name was applied along with a distinctive “flame” vinyl down the flanks. The coaches were seen out on the road and despite the different name, they stood out with a livery that is unmistakable. The Bournemouth drivers were naturally delighted to be driving these prestigious coaches. Following their summer of work, the coaches returned to London and are currently parked up awaiting a buyer.
