Cambridge Coach Services D848 KVE at Stansted - 4 Nov 1990

Sunday 4 November 1990 - Cambridge Coach Services 348 (D848 KVE), a Van Hool Alizee bodied Volvo B10M new to Premier Travel in 1987, seen at the old Stansted Airport Terminal on the northern side of the airport. This spacious new passenger terminal replaced it as the public terminal in 1991 whereupon it became the private jet terminal. Earlier in the day this coach had worked an excursion feeder from Sawston and Cambridge to Huntingdon connect with the day excursion to Alton Towers fun park. It then went on to work the 1045 hrs Cambridge to Gatwick Airport service 79 and the 1445 hrs service 78 back. In my notes I wrote that the coach became a ‘pig to drive’ on the homeward stretch between Luton and Cambridge with gear selection becoming very difficult.
