Hi Merfyn Indeed it ran from Swadlincote depot of ARRIVA Midlands (North) which traded with Stevensons of Uttoxeter legals. It later transferred to Wellington depot (ARRIVA Midlands North legals) and was used as a school contract bus there for 12 to 18 months until been ironically displaced by D170 FYM (also now works in Rhyl!) and D190 FYM.
I have seen this beast working from Llanrwst depot a few times this year, shamefully driven past it twice when on the road! Chris.
