It's PX08 CTZ (22611); it was on the 14 yesterday:

14 branded 24129 managed to stay out on 10A lates last night.
Saw 27707 heading northbound on m6 this afternoon near jct 14
It seems that Gillmoss have a use for their spare solo's, I have seen them operating 22/23 quite a few times.
A Mercedes 'Breadvan' was in the depot today with a branding on the sides along the lines of 'info-bus'.
Probably drivers from one or more of the C&NL depots come down to collect their Olympic loans and take them home.
PX08 CTZ as well as PX59 AZJ were out today along with seemingly the full compliment of the reserve fleet vehicles still out and about, cannot be long now before they are all gone!
Enviro300's have started to re-enter service, seen a branded one on the 10a this morning but didnt catch which one it was and 27768 was on the 14. So if you want to get a last ride of the reserve vehicles you probably only have until the weekend.
Had my ride on a B10L yesterday, rode the Darts and they do all seem to have life left in them, the Volvos in particular! Fingers crossed they are bought if they go up for tendered sale.
The B10L's seem to be in good condition and could be of use to another company, can't really see the HK darts or crusaders going anywhere but you never know.
