On board Simonds SN56 AGV in Bury St. Edmunds - 19 Jun 2024 (P1180570)

Wednesday 19 June 2024 (0857) - On board Simonds of Botesdale Limited SN56 AGV, a Wright Eclipse Gemini bodied Volvo B7TL which had been new to Lothian Buses (813) in December 2006, which was working the 0850 service 304 from Bury St. Edmunds to Diss. It had been operated by Xelabus (as G14 XEL) then Weardale Travel, Stanhope before joining the Simonds fleet.

There was no seat in the space on the upper deck over the driver’s cab.
