But, at least in Cardiff, that hasn't happened. The shiny new Citaros of 2017 predate the takeover and, apart from these, they seem to operate a very varied fleet of rather tired vehicles, several of which seem to be airport car-park cast-offs. Admittedly I haven't actually travelled on a NAT bus since the Covid outbreak began as their local service has been curtailed from once every 15 minutes to hourly - not that you'd know it from the bus-stop timetables which (unlike Cardiff Bus') haven't been updated. In May their coaching arm decided to permanently cease all international operations.Andrew Kleissnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-53433871255948238702020-06-25T09:36:04.439+01:002020-06-25T09:36:04.439+01:00I'm not quite sure as to NAT's plans with ...I'm not quite sure as to NAT's plans with rebranding to Adventure Travel. I't all seems a bit disjointed. Their website, timetables, uniforms etc. all still have NAT on them. Apart from some buses painted in the new livery nothing seems to of happened.<br /><br /> For visitors to Cardiff, I'm not sure that they would realize the purple bus heading towards them is operated by the same company as the blue and white ones?Redpinenoreply@blogger.com
