Who said svc 298 had a scania?all I see is green Mercedes Benz citaro.
A Scania there, with Tower Transit-style wrap
Forgive me from making too much comments but it’s time to bring back full wraps and supersides. Partial wrap (apart from private-hire) is losing out in terms of attention and is annoying to see blank spaces.
