PVL115 is at MC Motors Ely with a crumpled front end, and missing its engine and transmission (confirming what PVL371 posted, and falsifying what I was told by a Silvetown driver). It is due to be scrapped completely in roughly two weeks time.

Anyone know which bus this interior belongs to? www.flickr.com/photos/snakeydave/8669669637

I ask since it has the old London Central/General seat moquette, and also their interior colour scheme, but it doesn't look familiar to me. It looks vaguely like something Mercedes Benz would make, and seems to have a rear exit door. I spoke to my Canadian friend. He says the interior looks slightly similar to that of the Orion VI buses they have.

That Flickr member is on this forum '10301' so you should have an answer soon! - I would be interested to know too.

The clue is in the Buses Excetera bus alongside. This is one of the original Enviro 200 buses with cabinet engine, fully length low floor and dual doors with the back door right at the back. ADL produced them for London Buses but LBL didn't like the way one of the rear doors extended out beyond the back of the bus.

Buses Excetera brought two or even three of the original demonstrators back to life. Unfortunately I don't think they're running anymore. I always wanted a ride on one.

I only ever saw the London demonstrator once on the 274 and got a dreadful photo of it.

I rode one at the same Brooklands rally that '10301' took the picture and filmed a ride on it - it's somewhere on my YouTube account. The rear layout is very strange and has one or two similarities with the platform of a LT.

ELS10 has been repainted into red, yellow and blue Trustybus livery, and has also been fitted with LED displays, but has retained its middle doors.

I already buy enough junk off of eBay. It's a good thing I haven't got a spare 7 grand

PVL154 has been sold to YMS of Dover. PVL220 has also been sold to the same company, which probably explains the 06 reg WVL on the Battersea employee shuttle.
