DDA laws which came into effect at the start of 2017 mean step entrance buses such as this fine BEAST can no longer legally be used in public service (other than for 20 days a year).Whilst the majority of her sisters have now gone for scrap, Jessica as she has been nicknamed has a new life ahead of her as a shelter for the homeless - hence lack of seats. With just one day to go before she goes to her new owner, Stagecoach Portsmouth swapped her reasonably new tyres for an older set which meant the awesome depot manager Colin Ashcroft had to take for a 30 mile drive. Fresh from a trip on Hayling Island Colin came to meet me in Portsmouth City Centre North with Jessica where I was able to get some final photos of her ([ Ссылка ]) and took me for what I believe was my first and definitely my final ride on board up to Portsmouth International Port enabling me to get this short video for you all. Anyway here is Stagecoach South Alexander RL bodied Volvo Olympian 16752 (R752 DRJ) "Jessica"
