DSCF9375 H V Richmond FJ61 EYL in Birmingham - 19 Aug 2017

Saturday 19 August 2017 (1319) – Looking very clean indeed and devoid of National Express graphics, FJ61 EYL was seen in Moat Lane, Birmingham working National Express service 410 to London. A Caetano Levante bodied Volvo B9R that was new in January 2012 to Premiere Travel of Nottingham. It later passed H V Richmond Limited (Epsom Coaches) as their number EP4. Epsom Coaches became part of the RATP Group in April 2012 but RATP closed the operation in June 2017 although the legal lettering appeared to be H V Richmond Limited when I took this photograph. Looking at various photographs of this coach on the internet it appears to have operated in all white, then National Express, then full Epsom Coaches own livery and now back to plain white. The Church of St. Martin in the Bull Ring forms the backcloth.
