Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A preserved example of an early accessible midibus design, the 1985 built Type B chassis, pictured at Showbus. The Type B was manufactured by Quest 80 of Telford and bodied by Locomotors of Andover, and featured a kneeling capability with an extending ramp in its single door (front). Originally new to Merseyside PTE but never used, it's seen here in the colours of Sovereign Bus & Coach who were one of its later owners briefly in 1990. The route number and destination points, plus the Noddy picture in the windscreen, refer to another former owner, Millers of Foxton, who had it before Sovereign, and ran 3 of the type for a time in Cambridge, using the name 'Noddy Bus'. The roofline message Unity 70 with help from Sovereign Bus refers to the fact Sovereign donated it to the north London based Unity 70 disabled childrens charity, who operated in this guise until 1998, when it was withdrawn and stored it in their premises. It was bought for preservation from that storage by a member of the miller family in 2008.
