The bus was parked in a row of MCW buses alongside one of only three MCW Metroliner 400GT built. Former Yorkshire Traction 99 (E99AAK) was the only one to enter service with National Express. Ironically the other two joined Central Coachways on West Midland Travel's London Liner service. The 400GT was a 4m high facelifted version of the previous much more numerous DR130 model. This coach was later re-registered HE8899 and repainted into Yorkshire Traction's Coachlink livery. It now lives on the Isle of Man at the Jurby Museum and was entered by Richard Cranmer who brought it over on the ferry, hence the appropriate Isle of Man MMN400G registration.
