Why would arriva have wanted buses with MTL moquette, considering that the moquette said mtl.

I was referring to what could have happened had MTL still been around, as per Y474's question.

I’ve seen a school bus around Skelmersdale painted all yellow. I think it’s something like 7673 or similar , don’t know if this is from the last order of the buses you are mentioning.

7673 would be a Marshall dart, so certainly from the last batch of buses that came in MTL.

It's definitely not 7673

Could it be one of those ex First Chester Marshall Darts that Stagecoach sold to some operator for schools?
Initially left in First livery but perhaps yellow now?

7656 is the only remaining Marshall Dart from MTL and thats preserved by the NWVRT so we can rule out this batch

The one I know of is the former V369 KLG. Not sure if they have any others though

I believe the person who had 7660 has scrapped it
