Chassis: Bristol SC4LK
Body: ECW B35F

Until I acquired this slide I had no idea that Shaw’s even had this bus, let alone two! I suspect they didn’t keep them long as they were probably totally unsuitable for the duties they had to perform and by all accounts the SC4LK was also not the quietest of buses in which to travel.

This bus was the first of three chassis from Sanction 191, which was the last batch of SC4LK chassis built and became Lincolnshire 2495.

The other vehicle acquired was similar RFE 484.
