New additions to the fleet are Tridents 40595 & 40596 from Prestonbus along with Scania Omnidecker YN08MOF these are replacing the final step entry buses in the fleet.
The Nottingham (Yellow) Volvo Citybus has allegedly gone to somewhere in Nottingham for possible preservation (not to sure).
T42PVM is still the only step entry Olympian in the fleet but is now withdrawn and parked up.

There was one in leigh (unless it was the same one), and still has Hallmarks vinyls on, pretty poor work of Diamond if you ask me though!

The fleetnumber of the one I had was 40515 and am sure it was advertising a London to Heathrow Service on the rear..
RE: Diamond Bus North West (formerly South Lancs Travel) - SLTRegular - 15/01/2017 10:25
it's actually allocated to Preston.
40014; 40515 Heathrow - Preston
40540; 40543 Redditch - Preston

Its actually based at Atherton Terence and has been here since just before or just after New Year, its one of the vehicles I took a picture off when I went to Diamond's Atherton Depot on Bank Holiday Monday.
It still in Hallmark livery I guess as it came from Hallmark division down in Midlands, apart from the seating I've been told that its not a bad vehicle from what a mutual friend of ours said yesterday.

Prestonbus Olympian H101BFR has turned up over the weekend at Atherton Depot, not to sure what its here for, cant see that its for service, guessing for storage or preservation or maybe MOT work.

Reported elsewhere on a Winstanley College 663 service today. Presumably a closed door jobby.
