Smith's Latest Acqusition

Peelings JJZ8022 in Great Yarmouth in July last year

Colin Oakley reports on the East-Anglia-Buses Yahoo Group that Smith's Coaches has acquired Volvo B12M JJZ8022 from Jonathan Joplin of Tittleshall, which trades as Peelings Coaches

The Blofield operator has re-registered the coach as L8SLT - a plate it previously used on a Dennis Javelin. It is not known whether the Javelin itself has been re- registered or has moved on

My research reveals that JJZ8022 was new to Parks of Hamilton as LSK827 in March 2002, being one of four vehicles to carry that mark. It has also carried SG02OYW and A14GOO plates. Its subsequent registration was PA02SEA when Peelings acquired it from Seaward of Harlesden in Greater London during February 2012 - becoming JJZ8022 a month later
