Looks like the 82 has transferred back to Wincham depot, while the new Macclesfield locals are operating from Crewe at the moment, despite going on a West Midlands licence.

91 was on the 84x on Friday and is fully seated.

90 and 91 both on 84x today - deliberate as closer to Stagecoach livery?

Strange conclusion, especially as the old Centrebus livery (on three of the large Enviros at D&G) could be confused with the old Stagecoach livery.

I was thinking there was more white on the front of a stagecoach bus than there is.

Be that as it may 90 on the 84x today.

Recently acquired are a pair of solo SRs. Both formerly with ross travel.

They are a 59 & 63 plate respectively. Suspect as time goes on they'll more than likely acquire more solos & probably more Enviro200s will get cascaded from centrebus as they become available.

Saw the 59 plate one earlier leaving Crewe depot, not in service. Been given the fleet number 136. Sorry I couldn’t grab the full reg!

The other is YD63UZH - fleet number is 297.
