SL54 OSL is a Wright Eclipse Urban bodied Volvo B7RLE which was first registered by Mackie’s of Alloa in early 2005, being used on the contracted routes such as the MA1 and MA2 along with some other B7RLEs.
Mackies then bought two MCV eVolutions which saw SF54 OSL being spare and spending most of its time sitting. After two years, Mackies sold the eVolutions, which saw SL54 OSL return to the road on the Alloa local services. After the contract coming to an end in July 2024, Mackies put the bus up for sale and it entered preservation on the 10th of January 2025. On 11 October 2025, it entered its new home at the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust.
