United Kingdom The Myllenium was first designed in co-operation between East Lancs designer John Worker and the
London Central bus company in 1999 for use on
Millennium Dome shuttle services M1 and M2, with 17 in total on DAF SB220 chassis delivered for the services, three of which were
LPG gas-powered. The buses were equipped with air conditioning and an electronic guidance system designed by
Alstom for
driverless running on a section of
guided busway linking the Millennium Dome with
Charlton and
Greenwich railway stations. Soon after, the Myllennium became available for other operators, with the majority of orders coming from
Arriva North West,
First Berkshire & The Thames Valley, and the
Traction Group. 22 were bought between 2005 and 2007 by
Surrey County Council for contract use, initially for school contracts before moving onto park and ride routes. Enterprise had also bought two for contract use with
Red Funnel in 2005, with them being handed down to
Go South Coast division
Bluestar once the contract with them was finished. In line with previous East Lancs products, the Myllennium bodywork was also used to body less standard buses than
public service vehicles. Notable examples include twelve Myllenniums modified as
outside broadcasting vehicles that were delivered to various regional
BBC Radio stations across the United Kingdom; fitted out by convertor Keillor Coachbuilders, a satellite broadcasting studio is located behind the driver's cab, while equipment such as six PCs, a digital TV and radio, a printer, scanner and DVD player were situated in the main saloon area.
Guernsey The States of Guernsey took delivery of 33 wide East Lancs Myllennium bodied
Dennis Dart SLFs throughout 2003 to replace the island's existing bus fleet, delivered in a new green and yellow livery for lease to local operator Island Coachways. These were later phased out in 2018 by
CT Plus' buses.gg operation with the delivery of new
Wright StreetVibes. ==Hyline==
