Selwyns have just posted this on their Website

http://selwyns.co.uk/news/selwyns-travel...ral-month/

From elsewhere, I've read that Selwyns are expecting over 20 double deckers in time for the new school bus contracts here on Wirral from Monday......does anyone have any vehicles ID's as of yet?? A fair few have been reported parked up in the former Avon yard...…

EDIT - just had a quick look but too wet and rainy to hang around....PN09EMF is one ID'd, at least 9 or 10 in there http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmc1947/47712585841

The Olympus are all ex Go Ahead (872-4/6/82/5/9-91/5) but then the plot thickens.

I can't trace the first three Omnidekkas - perhaps an incorrect digit in the reg details - and the other nine were at one time Metrolink SN1927/31/3/5/40/1/4/5/7. However they were withdrawn quite a while ago and at least one of them was running for Bay Travel of Cowdenbeath in May last year. A loan from Ensign maybe ?

Can anybody throw more light on the subject please ?

That seems the likeliest answer - thanks !

More to add, two white Enviro200's there, YY15NHT & SK15GYB plus an ex Arriva London B7, LJ53BBN.

The Enviros were new to Holmeswood, and were used on services in Pendle acquired with the operations of Tyrer's of Nelson. They may be loans.

Any news on the first day of the new schools contract ?
