The 741 college bus in the morning seems to be a decker now, was an SK52 ALX400 the other day.

Does anyone have any photos of the former Trent Barton buses with Red Kite?

The 741 college bus has broken down this morning and yesterday, apparently a P reg decker yesterday and a 'bright orange' bus this morning, which I presume is an Excel?

The ex London United Volvo B7TLs SK52 USB-D have been repainted into red and cream and look mighty smart.

A surprise arrival is of OX04 BZP, which was new as T55 UBE for Oxford Tube Services. It is of course a Neoplan Starliner!
