Autocares Ríos Levante 455 – Sunsundegui Sideral 2000


Coach operated by Autocares Ríos Levante seen on Rua Joaquim António de Aguiar, Lisboa, in May 2012. This coach with fleet number 455 is a Sunsundegui Sideral 2000 registered in 2005. It uses the Scania K114EB 4x2 chassis. Based in Alicante, in 2012 Autocares Ríos Levante operates regular specialized services and occasional services. Here, we see this Sunsundegui Sideral 2000 in an occasional service, displaying the characteristic asymmetrical rearview mirrors and equipped with an automatic tire calibration system. This operator seems to have ceased activity in 2019. ●

Back to Normality

After the disastrous choice of the British operator VODAFONE as my internet provider , which sent my connectivity back into the dark ages and whose mediocre or non-existent service affected five months of publications (September, October, November, December and January), it is finally possible to bypass the obstacle with the support of an interested party. The return to normality should occur from February 20th, closing with sixteen publications the cycle dedicated to passenger vessels in regular or tourist service on the Tejo River. As a note of interest, partly motivated by this disastrous experience with the British operator VODAFONE, I will soon launch a new digital space –  UNPLEASANT | LX . It will be interesting. By the way, the problem reported to the operator VODAFONE in August 2023 is still unsolved in February March April October November 2024 . Literally, unbelievable . As I wrote in one of several texts published on social media and made known in Berkshire, «[…] ...
