AOA List - Disposed Buses
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
An All Over Advertisement (AOA) is an advertisement that covers the whole bus (in the past this included the front of the bus, but this now only applies to special liveries).
The Camera Icon indicates whether we have a photograph for each advertisement. Photos of the bus can be located by clicking on the linked fleet number and then on the Gallery link. Alternatively, you can click here to view all photos in our Gallery with an AOA tag.
This list is for buses which have been withdrawn from service.
