There was appeared to be a Metrobus EL bodied decker going down Newport Road yesterday.

I saw a two tone blue decker going out of town along Newport Road around 1.25 yesterday, but am not sure that it was a farm worker bus. I was waiting on Station Road a bit down from the Newport Road traffic lights for the former Tanat Valley ultra to do the 1.30 pick up, so not close enough to positively identify the decker, but I can say that it didn't come from Tesco.

The former Metrobus Omnidekka is YV03 RBU, and despite my doubts it is a farm worker bus seen running today on the same timings that R986SSA the Tanat Valley Ultra ran on last week

There is a photo on good old Flickr showing the bus parked on a farm in Staffordshire. It appears to have been a prototype vehicle as only a few of this specification were manufactured.

There is a photo on this very site with University of Wolverhampton.

I was unaware that it was used by the University , interesting to note that some records have it as a C for coach and some as a B for bus. In days gone by it would have qualified as a DP !!
