The bus you're referring to was KHCT/Stagecoach Hull Dennis Dominator (E132 SAT). It was painted in a special livery and used as the "Ferrybus" - running a service between Hull Station and the North Sea Ferries Terminal.

Yeah who knows where that fell off! In their latter years (and for cost cutting reasons and ease I guess!), some of them were just panelled over when they came off. Other metros acquired "home-made" grilles too - which did actually look quite smart and gave them a nice custom look!

thanks for the nice comments nickladey and hullbuses. Brought back some good memories posting it!

I believe so, yes. As far as I know, only one ex Hull metrobus has been kept for preservation and that's SAG520W

Right at the begining of the video... to the left of screen. Why is there an Arriva buses bus present? Arriva never ran to hull

I remember that depot in the station. I used to think that it was rather odd when younger. When I was eight, i was given a tour round the inside. Thanks for the memories
