A trip with the PSV Circle to ‘EYMS’ Anlaby Road depot in Hull produced some interesting images.

Built as a demonstrator for Volvo and then moved to ‘Lothian Buses’ as its No 286.
As a demonstrator, It worked briefly for ‘Brighton & Hove’ as its No. 296 in 2014.
With ‘Transdev Yorkshire Coastliner’, ‘Buses of Somerset’ and probably others.
My first reaction to seeing it was that the body was a ‘Streetdeck’ (the glazed staircase, the rear glazing etc).
However I am led to believe that it only becomes a ‘Streetdeck’ when powered by a Daimler engine.
It moved to ‘EYMS’ in December 2015.
Should anyone out there be able to add to, subtract from or qualify any or all of the above I would be pleased to receive your comments !
Your reward for doing so will be a public thank you on my next blog!
