HISTORY 200 APB was new to Safeguard of Guildford in 1956 and passed to Safeway Motor Services of Somerset in 1962. 
It then passed into preservation and was used by Rexquote Heritage on the summer Taunton Deane Heritage Bus Service, still in its Safeway livery.  The bus was repurchased by the Newman family, proprietors of Safeguard Coaches, in 2003.  It has been restored to original condition, and now operates in their heritage vehicle fleet.
