(I thought I had posted a reply to this question - but it has disappeared!!!!)
Yes - they still have these four ex Harrogate Crusaders. At least one (602) is used as a spare and they are being stored to either add / replace the fleet of ex Irish Crusaders one day or possibly be a source of spares.

I have previously reported that the latest arrival - the Tri axle Omni Express YT60OSX is having an interesting company livery.
Work is still in progress - but here are photos of the livery applied to date. It may be another week before the job is finished - mainly because the coach is off to Paris for the weekend.

P and O Lloyd, Bagillt
The ex Hutchinson Solo MX58ACO has now joined the Lloyd's fleet. Due to its size, (M710SE), it will be the spare bus for the Shuttle service and has been painted white and given the Shuttle livery - photo here

Ex Dublin Bus 01D10049 - Volvo B6 / Wright Crusader has donated most of its parts and the remains have been taken away for scrap.
One of the ex Transdev - Volvo B6 / Wright Crusaders - W606CWX has been officially withdrawn and spares are being taken from it.

This Alero was returned to Flintshire County Council and has subsequently been sold off. It's now listed on Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161364165510

I can confirm that both of Hutchinson's Aleros (YO53OUJ and YP52JWU) returned to the local authority and have gone to auction.
In addition the Caetano Optimo N902TAY and the LDV Convoy AF02BSU have both been sold to a dealer in Willenhall (thought that they may be exported). The rest of the fleet will remain in use (for the time being)
