Richard Bros: YJ14 CCV, Aberystwyth
I tend to prefer action shots over static shots but on a very dull day in Aberystwyth and the sight of this very rare VDL SB200, MCV Evolution, I thought it worthwhile for a photograph. As I understand this is the only MCV bodied SB200 in the UK, there are a number of VDL SB180 examples around however but those are not common, this bodywork is more common on Volvo B7 and B8RLEs.
Anyway this example was new to Richard Bros and understood to have been sourced from Arriva Bus and Coach. We find it here in Aberystwyth on its usual lunchtime diagram, getting ready to operate the long TrawsCymru T5 down to Haverfordwest, a journey time of just under 3.5 hours!
YJ14 CCV sadly lacks some of the via points branding below the roof profile, likely due to replacement windows over time.
