Volvo B9R / Plaxton Panther - Stagecoach Bluebird (Moray Route 10).

On our visit they operated route 10 exclusively.
Route 10 runs from Aberdeen to Inverness , the coaches carry destination branding 'Aberdeen - Keith - Elgin - Nairn - Inverness' and each have a individual numbered message towards the rear of the coach giving you a good reason to use the service.
They alsos carry 'X Route 10 City Connect' as a branding emblem.
See below...

Each vehicle also carries a rear end advert selling the virtues of using the service....

53627 : SV61CTY : Stagecoach Bluebird - Inverness 28th Oct 11

We had a period in the area and yet came away still needing to see 53635 !
However I would say staying at one of the locations these vehicles stop at would see a return of virtually all the coaches in a day period....it would need planning as Aberdeen to Inverness is a 3hour 50min journey !
