Activity At J&M Preservations

J&M Preservations' latest acquisition is Volvo B10BLE / Wright Renown T125 OAH from Dan's Coach Travel based near Stowmarket.



New in March 1999, it was originally delivered to Ambassador Travel for use on Norwich Park & Ride duties. Subsequently it saw service with Blackburn Transport before joining Transdev Lancashire United as fleet number 205.

York Pullman purchased it in 2017 working local routes and contracts including the York–Tadcaster corridor, along with school services. Most recently, the Volvo operated with Dan’s Coach Travel in Suffolk, carrying the registration B21 DCT, before being secured for preservation.



The group have also been busy recently removing reusable parts off ex First Bath double decker 32284 WR03 YZT to keep its former First Eastern Counties Volvo B7TL 30887 W742 DWX running. Fully stripped, the former made its final journey to Geoff Ripley & Son earlier this week

My thanks to Mason Lee for the information and photos
