I assume it's Aston bound

It has since been confirmed that it was en route to Rotala's Long Acre depot in Birmingham for a repaint.

I got something on the 715 the other day, not sure what it was but it looked like Volgren bodywork. It was very pleasant to ride unlike the Meridian I had before it (M333 SLT) which seems like it doesn't have long left before withdrawal due to age. Does anyone know how old they actually are?
RE: Diamond Bus North West (formerly South Lancs Travel) - SL64 JFK - 01/06/2015 18:18
The Meridians were new to SLT in April 2009. They were built earlier than that though, as stock vehicles, as I believe the body numbers are from an earlier Wright series, not the 2008/9 one they would have fitted in to if they were new builds.
Edit - these Meridians have AA series bodies, which indicate they were built in 2007. They would have an AC series body if new in 2009.

If it was a Volgren Bodied Bus i'd be Ecstatic my favourite bodied buses i never got to see the new Deckers in the flesh before i left Aus and i'm a huge fan of the Tri Axle Volvo's/Scania's at BBT thats how you build a bus!
I'd assume it was a Tempo? T900SLT was on the 610/4 this evening along with a Solo

Maybe it could have been a Preston Esteem, just thinking something that B10M may be unfamiliar with in the area.

I assumed it was Volgren as it looked a lot like: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TIB970H_Volgren_Mercedes_O405.jpg

Must have been an Esteem? https://www.flickr.com/photos/danielgrahamm/11476579123/
