Your Volvo double decker is an ex Pilkington Bus and pictures are on #18 of this thread under motormayhem's pilkington bus. As for the DLA I don't know but I'll have a ride up Tomorrow or Tuesday.
Ow do,
I don't think it was G301 UYK, similar colour scheme but a darker red. Also it still had the front panel on, that's how I knew it was a Volvo with the diagonal slash and square badge on it. I had a look in your Flickr album and I didn't see a picture of it. Thanks anyway...

Ok. As I said I'll have a ride Platt Bridge at some point see if I can spot anything new or anything sat on death row.
Ah yes I know which one your on about. I've recently seen an ex Dublin bus on flickr. That was taken in Wigan, N reg Volvo with damage that as far as I could see was just missing it's windscreen for the top deck. It also appeared to have a tree growing outside of it on flickr.
I'll try and and find it for you all. I'll also upload a few pics that I've taken once edited.
A few recovery trucks were in the yard today reversing into the yard. The staff onsite don't seem very health and safety concious as they didn't have any hi-vis clothing on and there was a child onsite wandering round the yard again no hi-vis.
Edit: the link for a decker

It was taken yesterday according to the description
