European coach operators

Friday 24 August 1990 – SAVDA is the principal operator in the Aosta Valley in Northern Italy. Orlandi Poker bodied Iveco 180 (AO 186671) is seen resting by Lac Leman (Lake Geneva) in Geneva, Switzerland. Later in the day it would be returning via the Mont Blanc Tunnel to its home base on the regular scheduled service worked the company. I rather thought the closed sunblinds made it look like the coach was dozing in the afternoon sunshine.
