History
Of the 95 Pathfinders produced, London Regional Transport subsidiaries purchased 38 on Dennis Lance chassis and all 30 Scania N113CRLs. They were London's first low-floor buses. The first examples were operated by London United on route 120 and CentreWest on route 222.[3][4]
Other purchasers (all on Dennis Lances) included Badgerline, London & Country and Northern General.[4] The Pathfinder was succeeded in 1995 by the Axcess-Ultralow.[5]

gollark: Wow, I really love having to use `grep` to find an option in `--help`!
gollark: Yes.
gollark: Anyway², I'll switch over my backup stuff and use the existing incremental tar thing for smallish compressible directories and rsync for large-scale apiary data.
gollark: Wow, my server just got an "out of disk space" warning for /tmp.
