Our Bus Vehicles For Disposal

A number of Our Bus vehicles are being advertised for sale on Facebook Marketplace with Plaxton Panther bodied Iveco Eurorider KV05 YRO and Optare Solo MX58 AAY being specifically highlighted. The latter is seen on St Stephens Street in Norwich in November 2021.

Apparently 'due to a change in the business model', more vehicles including Optare Solos and Volvo coaches will become available from mid April.

Our thanks to Jamie Skinner for bringing the information to our attention.

Further Jubilee Arrivals

We have already reported the recent arrival of Setra TIG 1295 at Rollesby-based Jubilee Coaches but there are another two additions to the fleet.

The first is another Setra (this time its model type is S416GT-HD) BF61 HCD which replaces Volvo B12BT W28 JCR and also takes that registration.

The second vehicle is Mercedes-Benz Tourismo BF67 WKS which was new to JFS Travel of Blandford, Dorset in January 2018. Its arrival means the departure of similar YR16 JCR.

My thanks to former Jubilee driver Kevan Portas with photos supplied by Simon Moore.
