New to Eastern Scottish in May 1987 as ZL349 and operated from Livingston Depot. Renumbered 349 and transferred to Musselburgh by January 1995. In April 1996 during the breakup of SMT, the bus was transferred to Lowland Omnibuses. During this period the bus moved about from the Musselburgh, Dalkeith and North Berwick depots depending on demand.
After being sold by Lowland the bus passed to an operator in Cumbria for a brief period before passing on to Caber Coaches of Aberfeldy in 2002. The bus was withdrawn from service in sometime in late 2007/early 2008 due to a gearbox failure. The bus was used as stores shed at Caber Coaches before being saved for preservation.
