Unfortunately no Northern or Arriva SB220GS,s were saved for preservation.

I had to chose what I wanted to save as I couldn't save both. I was drawn more to the Volvo than the Daf.

I could have had 4894. But the real travesty to the heritage movement was that the 5 prototypes 4820 to 4825 were all lost to Alpher and scrapped. At that time the NNRG just did not have the money to buy one. But many other groups could have saved one.

But as the saying goes.. You cannot save them all..
