Isn't illegal for the number plate to be obscured?

Isn't illegal for the number plate to be obscured? It isn't as obscured as the livery is. As for the livery, is it Tesco? Seem to recall a similar pattern of blue and white on the Tesco shuttle bus in Carmarthen. |

Don't DOO▸ it, keep the guard (but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea if the driver unlocked the doors on arrival at calling points).

My car looks similar at the moment. I spend my days down country lanes. It was only washed 3 days ago, and already looks similar dirty to this.
I believe the pictured bus is Faresaver's MX56AAO

I'd concur. Probably either the X34 or X72, at Melksham Market Place.

Faresaver used to provide a service to my school which I used for a few years, long before they got these shiny newer vehicles. There were some pretty interesting stories!

1. Lloyds Bank: Melksham, Market Place.  Oh - you mean that camouflaged thing parked in front of it?  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

MX56AAO normally used on the 69, otherwise known as the Zigzag service. Our guess is that this bus was cleaned a day or two before this photo was taken but when you are traversing the lanes of Wiltshire to the likes of Broughton Gifford it doesn't take long to get like this! Sometimes feels like you are fighting a losing battle in the winter months!

Welcome to the forum, Faresaver! I know what you mean about the lanes and the mud. Not only do the buses get dirty - even the bus stops do. Some of us have taken to a bit of Gorilla cleaning around Melksham, and there are now reports on Facebook that the station is dirty ... so you may feel it's a loosing battle but you're not alone |

Not sure which is more dangerous: trying to clean a gorilla, or a guerilla..!

Things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.

This bus along with three others are based at our Melksham outstation and so the cleaning of them involves a bit more...... thought! Always good to hear feedback good and bad, although we prefer the good and when I see buses like this on the road my heart sinks. I would say I'd prefer running buses in Spain where it rains less but then the buses would just overheat more! |

I didn't have my camera today but saw a First Kernow Alexander Royale decker that looked like this to the top of the top deck. It was on a route predominantly involving country lanes.
I was quite impressed the dirt had reached to very top on a double decker.
