East Midland J420 HDS at Milton Keynes Coachway - 2 Jun 1997

Monday 2 June 1997 (approx. 1440) – East Midland Motor Services 659 (J420 HAS) was operating the 1245 National Express ‘ Air Link’ service 230 from Nottingham to Gatwick Airport when seen at Milton Keynes Coachway. It had only recently been transferred to East Midland from Busways of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, both companies owned by Stagecoach, and still carried lettering for the ‘Air Link’ services from the North East. It was a Plaxton Excalibur bodied Volvo B10M new to Parks of Hamilton in March 1992. I believe it had carried registration KSU 462 during its time at Busways.
