Numbered 100 in the Ipswich fleet, it was the first of six delivered to Ipswich in March of that year. There is a photo of the entire batch lined up in Birkfield Drive in the Suffolk town for the official hand-over ceremony, which can be seen here on Flickr
After initial problems it lasted with Ipswich until withdrawal in 1997. It subsequently moved to First Northampton and First Leicester. It also saw use by First Mainline as a driver training vehicle based in Sheffield
