However, digressing slightly, and bearing in mind my visits to the RVP are few and far between and would be confined to particularly busy days, the fact that a full size double-decker was used, presumably without a hitch, yesterday, does suggest a bit of flexibility in considering replacement facilities if the 200 ceases next Spring. Previously, I don't recall seeing anything bigger than short Darts or Primos on the service.

Some of Howards' larger single decker vehicles have made an appearance on the 200 before - including F15 HOW and the Metrocity. When Howards first took over the 200 on an emergency contract they didn't have the two little Enviro 200s so it was always a bigger bus. Speaking of which Howards have now been running the 200 and 289 services for 12 months as it was last July that GHA Coaches collapsed.
