Several Volvo B7RLE with Wright bodywork have been noted in service already including 66881 MX05CKP, 66883 MX55HHP, 66884 MX55HHO, 66885 MX05CLF and 66886 MX55LHL. Another batch of 07 registered buses have arrived in Plymouth just today but we await details of these. I have always liked this Wright design which is quite striking and will certainly be noticed on the streets of Plymouth. I must get round to having a go on one! ©Ingy the Wingy. First Manchester Limited 66886 MX 55 LHL, a Volvo B7RLE built 2005 with a Wright ‘Eclipse Urban’ B43F body on Dale Street, Milnrow at the junction with Station Road with the 13:30 Middleton Bus Station to Rochdale Bus Station via Oldham, Shaw and Milnrow 58 service.
