I assume it's Aston bound

It has since been confirmed that it was en route to Rotala's Long Acre depot in Birmingham for a repaint.

I got something on the 715 the other day, not sure what it was but it looked like Volgren bodywork. It was very pleasant to ride unlike the Meridian I had before it (M333 SLT) which seems like it doesn't have long left before withdrawal due to age. Does anyone know how old they actually are?

The Meridians were new to SLT in April 2009. They were built earlier than that though, as stock vehicles, as I believe the body numbers are from an earlier Wright series, not the 2008/9 one they would have fitted in to if they were new builds.

Edit - these Meridians have AA series bodies, which indicate they were built in 2007. They would have an AC series body if new in 2009.

If it was a Volgren Bodied Bus i'd be Ecstatic my favourite bodied buses i never got to see the new Deckers in the flesh before i left Aus and i'm a huge fan of the Tri Axle Volvo's/Scania's at BBT thats how you build a bus!

I'd assume it was a Tempo? T900SLT was on the 610/4 this evening along with a Solo

Maybe it could have been a Preston Esteem, just thinking something that B10M may be unfamiliar with in the area.

I assumed it was Volgren as it looked a lot like: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:T...s_O405.jpg
