This is one of eight of these Volvo B7TLs acquired from Metroline in 2013. They were converted from dual-door to single-door by Marden’s in Benfleet. Along with some ex-Reading single-deckers these were used to launch the new “Rosso” branding in September 2013.
Despite the display, this bus is working a 184 to Oldham and is passing the Farrar’s Arms.
