Very odd for something like a solo to be in Gibraltar a population of five at any one time.
Going off topic, I've just tried looking at the direction of the route 2 it worked but can't get my head round it using the pdf on the operators website and google maps.

I've since discovered this was prior to it's time at Diamond but still good to know

A vehicle numbered OP07ARE is currently with Epsom Coaches, (Quality Line) in London & was in service this morning on route 411 until 07:05, (as per the LVF). Is this the same vehicle or has the registration number been re-used?

Yes, I believe that's what it is.

30918/20 are now Diamond branded but 18 is in a more creamier shade where as 20 appears whiter

I managed to get a video of YJ64 DZL leaving wigan bus station, only 3 seconds long but I'll screenshot a frame later. Have we got a fleet number for it?

Is this a ex Preston P&R Versa? If so why has it been painted white
