OK Motor Services, Bishop Auckland, County Durham, bought a batch of 6 Plaxton Supreme bodied Leyland Tigers in 1982 for use on private hires, tours and local service. LFT 5X was the penultimate vehicle of the batch. Unusual in being built with +earlier Plaxton Elite windscreens, Supreme V front panel and Plaxton Paramount rear (which was the bodywork style that Plaxtons were building). Passing through various operators after sale by OK, such as Smiths of Brenzett and the reincarnation of OK Motor Services, based in Cambridge, LFT 5X returned north to Shildon, County Durham, based "The Eden", where it is used in a semi preserved role.

New to Northern General Transport, Gateshead, England, registered RCN 699, with fleet number 2099.
After service with Northern, it passed to Stevensons, Derby then onto Stagecoach in Scotland, originally just for spares after a front end accident. Stagecoach repaired it and returned it to service, where it lost its' original registration.
After withdrawal by Stagecoach, it was bought by the managing director of Go North East, the current name for Northern General Transport and "returned home". On his untimely passing, it passed into the care of the North East Bus Preservation Trust who, in turn, have loaned it back to Northern. In order to increase capacity on services around busy times during this pandemic, 2099 has returned to public service, albeit currently planned for one journey morning and afternoon between Chester le Street and Newcastle upon Tyne on service 21.
Photographed at Hetton-le-Hole, County Durham, England on 26th October 2008.
