MacPherson Coaches (Scottish Citylink contractor) E346 EVH in Cambridge - 18 July 1991

Thursday 18 July 1991 (approx 0655) – MacPherson Coaches of Donisthorpe was a Scottish Citylink contractor for a few years. E346 EVH, a Van Hool Acron bodied DAF SB3000 which had been new to Fishwicks of Leyland in February 1988, is seen here at loading at Drummer Street coach station in Cambridge about to set forth on the 0700 service 236 to Aberdeen where it was due to arrive at 2105 – a distance of around 550 miles. The coach had previously sported an earlier version of the Scottish Citylink livery but here it carries what was now the later revamped style although the windscreen lettering harks back to the earlier branding. Service 236 commenced on Monday 29 April 1991 operating from Cambridge to Aberdeen via Corby, the East Midlands, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, Carlisle, Glasgow, Stirling, Perth and Dundee. Window bills show a number of the places served. Named ‘Daniel James’ which I believe was the name of the owners Grandson. (Ref: 144-28)
