  That's the Leyland Lynx. Thanks to somebody who crashed the bus, now it sports a Scania front instead of the unique Leyland front.

  That is the Lynx. Unlikely it'll return to service as it doesn't have ez-link systems installed.

  Not bad this web site, siah!
  
  I never realised LO2X were deployed on the NBR-TP service 28. I always thought only Atlanteans operated on that service.
