Tuesday 9 September 2025 (0941) – I was travelling on Whippet Coaches WG457 (BU25 ZFF), one of the two MCV eVoSeti bodied Volvo B8L tri-axle double deckers added to the fleet in June 2025 to operate The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) franchised ‘Tiger’ branded service T1 between Cambridge and Huntingdon. This was the 0905 service T1 from Cambridge to Huntingdon.

As the bus approached the roundabout adjacent to the Whippet garage at Buckingway Business Park (near Cambridge Services on the A14) another Whippet bus appeared that was running empty to Huntingdon. This was WD455 (BG61 SXM), a Wright Eclipse Gemini bodied Volvo B9TL that had been new to First Centrewest (VN37979) in February 2012 to operate Transport for London contracted services. It had then been operated by Selwyns Travel, Runcorn before being acquired by Whippet.
