Added to the fleet in March, Mercedes Vario P534PNE is now up for sale on eBay.

It looks like the vehicle has left The Eden, and a private seller is selling the vehicle (given the showroom of other vehicles including trucks etc).

Some interior shots and the like that we enthusiasts haven't photographed previously either, so it's nice to be able to see the old Stagecoach moquette.

The Eden name was sold by Arriva to Graeme Scarlet back in the early 00s, so it's a separate company entirely.

Not acquired, simply on loan to cover for one or two problems.

The Primo is back on service and has been on the Asda shuttle

I saw a what looked to be a mini coach bus (possibly a Mercedes 814D / ACI)  in The Eden livery going through Ferryhill this afternoon - it was a V reg bus. Not seen this before so is this new to The Eden.

I'm rather surprised The Eden are running this service.

I'm intrigued to see the route and times it will operate and I wonder what they'll use on this service.

It's a DCC contract. Timetable should be online next week and I expect they will use the Primo on there?

Hopefully they'll use that on there. I would like to see them buy another low floor bus (possibly a SB Travel Solo) to use as backup as I don't think the OAPS would be too happy with old step entrance buses turning up.
