Today's subject is Scania/ Wright Axcess Ultraflow R86EMB which was new to Chester City Transport in December 1997 as their number 86
Scania R86EMB captured on film in Lowestoft by Grahame Bessey in May 2008 |
It became one of five similar buses purchased from Chester in 2008 by Beccles based Anglian - the others were R81/2/4/5EMB and were seen quite regularly on services within the Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft area
R86EMB in its new guise as MUI7949 at Bury St Edmunds Bus Station in March 2014 |
In October 2011 R86EMB was one of a trio of the ex Chesters acquired by Mulleys and was painted in their colours prior to entering service with a new registration of MUI7949
Unfortunately there's not a happy ending as the Scania lasted some four years with Mulleys before being sent to a scrapyard in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire during late September/early October last year
The above is based on information recently supplied by David Slater to Anglia Thames Valley Bus Forum
