That's KX59 CXP, which has been provided to Impera from Dawsonrentals as a temporary replacement for 2568 (an insurance agreement, I believe) which is accident-damaged. It'll remain at Impera until 2568's condition is determined (repairable or non-repairable).

Interestingly, the Enviro200 features dual-purpose seating inside and a sunroof (if that's what it's called on buses!). I sampled it on the 98 between Liverpool and Birkenhead today and it was a nice, smooth and comfortable ride with few rattles. I think that it's a bit small for the 98 as it can get busy at times, however it's definitely better than no bus at all as there are problems with a few buses at the moment (hence why 'deckers took-up places on normal boards after their dedicated school work today).

Cheers for that Very interesting never realised anything was up with 2568 either.

Ambulances were called to the scene and both drivers were taken to hospital (I hope that the driver of the bus is OK). The bus is in a bad condition at the moment, having sustained damage to its body and axle; I'm not sure if it's going to be fixed or not yet.
