Brighton & Hove Wright Renown bodied Volvo B10BLE 220 (R220HCD) is seen in the centre of Brighton in June 2007. The bus was later loaned to sister Go-Ahead company Oxford Bus Company in two tone green Park & Ride livery, a scheme it kept when it returned to Brighton and later when sold to Centrebus. In 2016 it headed north of the border to Scottish operator Essbee of Coatbridge where it gained their red based livery and was reregistered EIG1436. |
Sister vehicle 224 (R224HCD) had a similar history but was in standard red livery at Oxford, not Park & Ride green. It also escaped heading firther north, passing to local operator Seaford & District who retained the fleet number 224. It is seen arriving for the last Duxford SHOWBUS in 2014.
