Seen in Windsor coach park back in the nineties is this typical B10M/Plaxton Premier of Excelsior Motorways of Bournemouth. Shortly after this picture was taken, the fleet was acquired by the Flights Travel group in Birmingham and, whilst retaining the Excelsior name they adopted the similar livery of Flights.

Excelsior were taken over by Flights subsequent to Flights selling their Flightlink
services to National Express. These were still operated under the Flightlink colours and branding, which
were the colours of the then Flights operation and had been adopted by Excelsior. Just to confuse
things further, this Excelsior Excalibur/B10M is operating under contract to Flightlink and bears Flightlink
livery - which happened to be the same colours as the rest of the Excelsior fleet! Not surprisingly
XEL4 is seen here at Heathrow Airport Bus Station.

The small Flights logo can be seen on the front right hand side of this Plaxton B10M of Excelsior in Heathrow's Central Coach Station in 2002.
