The model
- The third release of Buses Model's Dennis Jubilant casting was
released on 23nd July 2016 and carries a government road safety
livery.
The bus -
DS20 was one of a batch of 30 vehicles purchased by CMB in
1980 and
entered
service on 15th April that year. Fitted with Alexander 'CB'
bodywork,
the most noticeable difference between these Dennis Jubilants and the
similarly
bodied Leyland Victorys was the lack of a radiator filler cap between
the
top of the radiator grille and the windscreen. Upon the demise of CMB,
DS20 was transferred to New World First Bus on 1st September 1998, and
with one of the conditions of the new Company's franchise requiring
them
to be operating a 100% air-conditioned fleet within two years, it
was withdrawn in August 1999.
