B16 HTL - Heyfordian

B16 HTL (ex B12 TCL, R184 VSJ)
1998 Volvo B10M/Van Hool Alizee C49FT
Heyfordian Travel, Bicester
Buckingham, 4 September 2020
New to Clyde Coast, Ardrossan

Today's school buses were largely the same as yesterday's but with a couple of differences in the Heyfordian contingent. B12 TCL was one of the vehicles retained when the Tappins operation was sold to Weavaway and has been a regular on this work for several years, now re-registered B16 HTL and still looking smart at 22 years old.
