One of the buses present was one which operated services in East Anglia, Volvo B10BLE T125 OAH. It was new in March 1999 to Ambassador Travel where it was employed on Norwich Park & Ride duties. It then moved to Blackburn Transport and later Transdev Lancashire United as their fleet number 205.
In 2017 it was purchased by York Pullman, where it worked local routes and contracts, including the York–Tadcaster corridor. Most recently, it operated with Dan’s Coach Travel in Suffolk and some of the operator's stickers can still be found inside the vehicle.

After over two decades of service across various operators, T125 OAH was acquired by Suffolk- based J&M Preservations and subsequently sold on to Scottish preservationists.

ReplyDeleteIt is now in ownership with us at the First Aberdeen 623 & 629 Group and Scotbus Preservation Group. Between us we also have B10BLEs R526TWR, X623NSS and Y629RSA. Its a cracking motor and we're hoping to have it at some more events this year.
