Fleet Coaches E861FPB
Before buying Volvos F1-3, Fleet Coaches' previous new purchase was this DAF SB2305. This wasn't one of my favourites to travel on - it always felt slow and, being the only 57-seater in the fleet, the tightly pitched seats weren't great for people over 6ft tall. Fleet Coaches disposed of all three of their DAFs in 1992 (apparently spare parts were significantly more expensive than for the Volvos) and this one went to Clayton, Leicester. I know not where it went after that, but by the time I met my missus in 2005 (who comes from that part of the world), there was no trace of a Claytons or the DAF.
The luggage locker door without stripes was uncharacteristic for the firm and must have been the result of a recent minor scrape.
