DSCN6518 Mulleys Motorways CN56 FDU at Rattlesden

Friday 5 December 2014 (1204) - Mulleys Motorways CN56 FDU seen in Rattlesden when working the 1145 service 386 to Stowmarket. New to Bebb Travel of Llantwit Fadre, South Wales and latterly operated by Veolia Transport Cymru. As January 2015 approaches, when the Disability Discrimination Act requires buses to be fully accessible, so the Mercedes-Benz Vario buses not equipped with wheelchair lifts that are normally used on these services will be obsolete. Whilst the three steps of the rugged Vario can be difficult for the elderly that use these services, the model has proved its worth on the rural lanes - many of which are lined with high grass bankings contribute to body damage.
