New to Scarlet Band Motor Services in 2005 for use on Durham Citys' then new Park & Ride operation. One of ten such vehicles, all fitted with Cummins ISBe engines, this was one of two left in the fleet when Scarlet Band ceased operation in October 2022, although off the road for almost a year owing to a frayed gear change cable.
Offered for sale, it was eventually acquired by a preservationist, originally for spares but may end up being preserved.
