APH is the acronym for Airport Parking & Hotels. Operating a smart fleet, this nice B8RLE was new to APH in 03/2023. It is seen here on Malaga Avenue, and would join Chicago Avenue, at the airport, on 19/06/2024.
To be honest, this wasn't one of the best places to stand but being unfamiliar with the layout it was the best I could do in a short visit. The bus/coach station wasn't as busy with vehicles as I thought it would be but there was variety to be had. © Peter Steel 2024.
