Scotts Greys, Darlington OER 975R

            This very rare Plaxton Supreme turned up, but it was probably the sound rather than the sight that alerted me to it - this was one of the small number of Seddon Pennine 7 coaches not to have been bought by the Scottish Bus Group, so its Gardner engine note would have certainly caught my ear. SBG took plenty of this combination, all to 11-metre length, but this was one of six sold to independents which were 12 metres long. 

Scotts Greys had prior experience of the model, having bought one of them new in 1977, and so when its twin came on the market in 1980 from Young's of Rampton, it too joined the fleet. When seen here, it was running in its original Young's livery style, but with their red stripes painted over with Scotts Greys' blue. It did receive a full repaint at a later date, but not to good effect !
