Subject: Badgerline 3525 (BHY 999V)
Chassis: Leyland National 2 NL116L11/1R
Body: Leyland National DP48F
Location: Bristol, Marlborough Street
Date: 28-Apr-1994

3525 was new as a 52-seat bus, then seats were removed to make it a 48-seater. Later still it was re-seated as a dual-purpose vehicle as seen here and by now carrying Badgerline livery.

It is seen entering Marlborough Street bus station on the 353 service from Weston-super-Mare, this variant serving Worle, Congresbury and Yatton. The bus carries an "MH" metal allocation plate to the left of the fleet number plate which indicates the depot that used to be part of this bus station.

This bus ended up, after a few other owners, with Rhondda Buses as their 499.
