This bus was new as Midland General 500 (915MRB) in 1960. It was transferred to Mansfield District as 600 in 1969 and was thus assimilated into East Midland. As a driver training unit the FS6G ECW bodied Lodekka is thought to be painted in East Midland's dark red livery with white relief and has received its third "00" fleet number, B300.

Here in High Wycombe a Thames Valley LD Lodekka is overtaken by one of the Bristol LS buses transferred from Midland General in 1970. The bodywork is DP style, but all bar two of the eleven acquired were reseated as 41 seat buses before entering service. |

More exotic than High Wycombe, Lodekka FLF 509 (449SNU) escaped to the sunnier climes of California and is seen touting for business for Gray Line's city tours in Union Square San Francisco in the eighties. |
