Chronology

The Wright Pathfinder, or Pathfinder 320, is a low-floor single-decker bus body built by Wright of Ballymena on Dennis Lance SLF and Scania N113CRL chassis. It was introduced in 1993.

A majority of Pathfinders, on both types of chassis, were built for London buses; these have unusual single-piece front doors. The Lances were London's first low-floor buses. The first London examples were of bus type LLW and were operated on route 120 by London United from their Hounslow garage and on route 222 by Centrewest (now First London) from their Uxbridge garage; both have been superseded by more modern vehicles. The London vehicles are also well noted, due to their use of Northern Ireland registered numberplates (RDZ xxxx), because they were built in Wrightbus's factory in Ballymena, in the north-east of the country.
