I can confirm that it is on loan. It has replaced the Enviro 200 KX58GUU. Good news is that the accident damaged Versa YJ59NMZ will be repaired although it may take a month - the SR may therefore be around for a while.

Price Coaches, New Broughton

Newly arrived is Volvo B7TL / Plaxton President FSU807 (previously X161FBB) It was new in Feb 2001 to Go Ahead London Central (VP9) who was the last operator. It has had its centre door removed and has been re-seated. As would be expected from this operator it has been given the firms smart livery - and it looks excellent. It is currently being prepared for use for the new college term in September - PHOTO LINK

The former FSU807 (Volvo Olympian / N C Palatine) is now re-registered to its former number P603CAY and is up for sale.

Is P603CAY still in the depot as that is required for photographs?
