SBS class

The SBS class consists of 70 DAF SB120 single-decker buses with Wright Cadet bodywork, numbered SBS7, SBS9–SBS24 and SBS27–SBS79.

SBS7 and SBS9–SBS15 were constructed by DAF/Wright, while SBS16–SBS24 and SBS27–SBS79 were constructed by VDL/Wright. The SBS class is differentiated from the otherwise identical SBM class in that the SBM class were purchased from the Volvo dealership, and are therefore technically Volvo Merits rather than Wright Cadets.

SBS class vehicles are currently operated by Localbus North East at Chester-le-Street, Deptford, Riverside and Washington; Localbus North West at Warrington; Localbus Scotland at Barrhead and Greenock; and Localbus South West at Henstridge.

Owing to their old age and ongoing fleet replacement cycles, former class members SBS1–SBS6, SBS8 and SBS25–SBS26 were withdrawn and sold in August 2017.
