Yes I was aware of that just referred to its original plate. The fleetlist confirms the arrival of a B9TL Gemini 2 too ex Tower Transit 36139.

Both the B9TL and the B8RLE should be here middle of next week.

The B8 has just had paint job and now at Volvo having PDI. Will be out next weekend in service.

The B9TL via Ensigns has been converted to single door. This is nearly complete and will have the B7 returned when collecting the B9.

W17, will not come off fleet however will be reserve. This is too much of a good bus to dispose off. The unfortunate thing is its age.

I doubt there's many operators who have a brand new saloon when their contracted bus services are works/schools/rail replacement only.

There probably isn't.. However, they ain't my only source of work...
