Not quite as much variety in this shot. With the cruise terminal in the Spanish port of Valencia being some distance from the city centre, a fleet of coaches was required for the shuttle service alone for the passengers off P&O Cruises - MV Britannia - IMO: 9614036, which had not long arrived in the port, on 09/09/2022. The day excursion tours also required plenty of coaches as well. As well as the nine coaches in the previous view, here is another five for the shuttles. From right to left facing the camera are four coaches from Autocares Briz, Tous, Valencia, that consist of 7475KWC, a Sunsundegui SC7 bodied Mercedes-Benz. Alongside is 3450DXG, a Tata Hispano Divo II bodied Mercedes Benz OC-500RF1842, new 2006. Third from right is 4687JMY, an Irizar i6 bodied Mercedes-Benz OC500, new 2016. The fourth from the right is 1989HBT, a Hispano Xerus bodied Mercedes Benz OC-500RF1842, new 2011. At the far end is Fernanbús, S.A., Valencia, 217, 7223KVM, an Otokar Kent C 12, new in 2019. The MetroBus livery and fleetname is used by a collection of operators on services from Valencia to the outlying districts and a little further afield.
