At last, after several months of waiting I at last got a Leopard on the 163 CARRICKFERGUS. Today I was on 248 (WOI 2248) of Laganside. I don't know if anyone else has ever been on 248 but it is alot different from any other Leopards in the fleet. 248 has seating for 62 and allows standing for 8. It is fitted with seat belts - must be about the only bus in the fleet to have them. 248 also has the clicking noise the same as the Goldliners when the indicators are on. 248 was being used on the 13.45 out to Carrickfergus. This service was operated by Bristols before but since the arrival of the new Scania's, Laganside has lost its RE's (2397 UOI 2397 might be still around but 2444 WOI 2444 and 2456 WOI 2456 have gone to reserve).
