 The first of two Jonckheere Jubilee P599 bodied Volvo B10M coaches, 158 (A158PUD), was a major departure for Keith Coaches. Not only were these the first Volvos in the fleet but they were also dedicated coaches. Their immediate predecessors, the Leyland Tigers, were used extensively on bus services in order to qualify for bus grant. The Volvos were short lived ater a major review of operations prior to deregulation effectively disbanded the coach division, only three coaches survived the cull, Leopard 126 and Bedfords 137 and 142. Volvo 158 passed to Walsall based Continental Coachways with whom it is seen here alongside a rare Unicar bodied Bedford YMT, OBC703W, with ABC of Leicester. |
