Rear end comparison
Two vehicles with almost consecutive fleetnumbers but with a slightly different history. These pair of Volvo B7RLE/Wright Eclipse were new to First Manchester albeit in different batches.
Earlier 69206 MV06DYU had a longer career in Manchester, moving to Oldham before heading to Cornwall in 2013 in exchange for some Dennis Darts. It worked there for a short while before becoming part of the Buses of Somerset fleet and gaining green livery.
69210 MX06VPL moved earlier in c.2008 to upgrade the main Weymouth to Portland service along with six others. They worked dutifully until dislodged by new Streetlites, and then by cascaded B7RLEs from Fareham. Four headed to Doncaster but this and 69211/2 stayed in Weymouth but were regularly visitors to Yeovil to cover vehicle shortages, as seen here in the bus station on 20 Aug 2016.
