Its last open day?
Bluestar's 1911 (YSU 875, ex-W477 WGH) was being employed today on Southampton University open day shuttles.
This will be its last year doing so as a uni-link bus, as a new batch of Enviro400s are due later this year, to displace the Scania OmniCitys and the handful of Volvo B7TLs brought in to cover a frequency increase.
It will be interesting to see what happens to it afterwards though. A number of similar B7TLs are in Go South Coat's event fleet, still in tatty London paint, and were also in use today, so don't count out this bus from ever doing the open day again!
