.......and size matters! A deceptive view, from a size point of vehicle, is seen here at Wembley Stadium, London, on 25/05/1996, for the 1996 Football League Third Division Play-off Final between Plymouth Argyle, who finished third, and Darlington, who finished fifth, in the 1995-6 season. For the record, Plymouth were 1-0 victor's in front of an attendance of 43,431. I noted 277 coaches here including these two very different examples of coach transport for the Plymouth Argyle supporters. Obviously the beauty here is Western National 2102, M102ECV. This Van Hool Astrobel bodied Volvo B12T, new in 06/1995, was among a trio, 101-3, M101ECV etc., delivered for National Express Rapide Services, mainly from the West Country to London. In total contrast, and looking quite big alongside, is Ray's Mini Coaches, Plymouth, KMW361X, a Caetano Beja bodied Fiat 60F10. It was new to M&J Hire, Stratton, in 09/1981. Only eighteen seats compared to the Van Hool's seventy-one plus toilet!
The camera being a Praktica MTL3 with the film being a Boots Colourslide.
