Its just a Wright Streetlite,Volvos got nothing to do with it

Jimbo you will be pleased to hear MCT started the 169's tonight. I was in Ashton Bus station at about 5.30pm and Enviro200 MX10 DXD in dealer white was parked up waiting to do the first trip just before 7.
My only critisium is that it would have looked better if they had applied some kind of fleet name to the front and sides just so passengers know who their travelling with.

I saw another 10-reg Enviro200 on route 197 earlier. It may have come from the same dealer as the one you saw Mayneway. It also had no company branding. I could have gone out later and seen one on route 22, but didn't feel like it. I don't like MCT much anyway!

Indeed MX10DXD has come from Mistral, as have other recent additions and this one is ex Maytree.

It actually looked quite smart, just a bit bland, and when you consider that JPT still run some Sunday 169's it would make sense to add some branding to the front at least.

A quick google suggests MX10 DXD is ex-Brittania Parking... Had it definitely operated for Maytree since that?
