Service for training transportation. Despite being made in 1997, this R-reg vehicle looks dated in

It is one of a batch of four that were for each of the four main towns in
South Yorkshire. They were supposed to be front-line fast response vehicles with
patient transport capabilities. Among the
inadequacies that caused them to be abandoned was poor performance. This
was unsuccessfully addressed by fitting turbos at great expense! The other
three vehicles were sold or written off not long after their introduction.
