During the period when York Pullman was controlled by Durham Travel Services, it won a group of City of York contracted services, branded as Easylink, and obtained a batch of six low floor Dennis Darts to operate them. R122 FUP, one of three 9.2 metre models, is seen at Clifford's Tower on service Y17.

The Easylink contracts later passed to First York in 2000, and R122 FUP found its way to First Cymru, eventually numbered 42622.

During the period that York Pullman was controlled by Durham Travel Services, it won a contract to provide 'Easylink' services to villages around York. Six new Dennis Dart SLFs were obtained with Plaxton Pointer bodywork; three 9.2 metre examples and three 10 metre ones. 131 is one of the latter models.

In due course the bus operation and vehicles passed to First and 131 was despatched to First Cymru where it became 42631 and has subsequently entered preservation.
