So X511 UAT, X526 UAT, V164 MVX, V152 MVX & S364 ONL

S364ONL came from Stafford Bus Dealer or Impera Depot, Moreton, Wirral? See Impera fleet list they said S364ONL gone to Stafford Bus Dealer, so bit confused information.

Only reason I gathered its S364 ONL is due to following

S363 ONL - Preserved
S364 ONL - For Sale
S365 ONL - Scrapped
S374 ONL - J Horne Travel

The Tridents will be used for schools and the single deckers will be used for service work during the day. The two older Leyland Olympians I believe are to be sold..

I was around in Warrington today, and saw lots of healthy loadings on the Fairbrothers services, especially a packed 1c.
I'm glad they finally seem to have got off the ground! -- unless this was just a one-day blip.

Sometimes a bus will go directly from premises of former operator to new owner without ever actually visiting the dealers yard.

That wasn't the case in this situation. Stafford Bus Centre's website had a photo of S364 ONL in their yard within the listing for it and sister S374 ONL and, considering that 374 was photographed near Impera's depot awaiting tow just after they'd finished ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/104753198@N08/10158885595/ ), it seems likely that it went to the same place.

For the record, the listing has been removed from their website - 374 has been acquried by J Horne Travel, although 364's new status has yet to be discovered.

RE: Fairbrother's of Warrington
Just need to correct something here. The S plate Dart acquired from Impera is actually S538 JLM and not S364 ONL as stated earlier...
