Exiv96 ◊ 2007-02-27 23:15	The body is probably a Duple 340. But no idea about the chassis/engine. Could be a DAF, Leyland, Dennis, etc. Also, Springfield Coachways is no more, apparently.
fsebus ◊ 2009-01-12 21:47	Moi aussi, je dis DUPLE 340 pour la carrosserie. Le reste...
Sunbar ◊ 2009-01-12 22:19	The registration could be RJX318, now on a Bova Futura, so possibly transferred after 1998 as bus operators like to use registrations that are not year specific. edit: Springfield Coachways continue to be listed as being at Miry Lane, Wigan, Lancashire, WN6 7TG. -- Last edit: 2009-01-13 13:28:40
