Salamondetur 67 – Irmãos Mota Atomic 8


Coach operated by Salamondetur seen at Praça Marquês de Pombal, Lisboa, in May 2012. This coach with fleet number 67 is an Irmãos Mota Atomic 8 registered in 2009. It has an overall length of 44 ft and uses the Volvo B12B chassis with the Volvo DH12E engine. Established in 1986 and based in Salamonde, in 2012 Salamondetur operates regular specialized services and occasional services. Here, we see this Irmãos Mota Atomic 8 closely followed by a minicoach, an Irmãos Mota Atomic Mini based on an IVECO 65C17S, fleet number 73 from the same operator, both in an occasional service. This operator seems to have ceased activity in 2017. ●

Back to Normality

Image
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 2024 . Literally, unbelievable. As I wrote in one of several texts published on social media and made known in Berkshire, «[…] the expressive mediocrity
