Ah the nostalgia !
Pity they still don't come from over the pond, as with the ATA Tristar’s in the 90's.
even though they always had a tech stop in both directions, even added to the interest not knowing if it was to be Bangor, Goose, or where ever. Note that this service did not allow itself to deteriorate to that of it's contemporaries in terms of comfort, sevice & time keeping. How anyone could wish for the return of Excel (whether red, pink or whatever colour) with their pathetic levels of comfort & timekeeping is beyond me.
