    Our local Stagecoach depot had 2 Volvo Commuters both 55-reg many years ago.
    The body often seemed quite slim to me and the style/shape reminded me of a train (the long narrow length and the curved front windscreen and the roof was slightly arched - a very distinctive style to it).
    I remember sitting on one of them back from Stranraer to Dumfries and for anyone who knows that route will know that it's about 2 hours 20 minutes at the most.
    But the one thing I would always remember was that they were awfully uncomfortable seats for the length of journey involved, too narrow and rigid. The seats were bus seats, rather than coach seats which for any distance over an hour they really ought to be coach seats.
    Hellish journey.

    No idea why the concept never took off. Perfect for long distance routes that isnt intercity coach travel. Like the 700 down my way for instance thats split into 3 parts between Portsmouth and Brighton, these wouldve been ideal. Same with the 843 between Leeds and Scarborough.

      @Huddersfield Bus Travels nope, engine is in fine fettle, still start her and warm her through when I get the chance.

      @Huddersfield Bus Travels nope, just requires a large amount of ££s spending on it, which far outweighs its book value
