At Mistral's yard yesterday evening was a 'door forward' Wright Streetlite B41F (Body No AF965). This had been on site in early May carrying no registration plate and had gone by 10th May. It has now returned within past couple of days adorned with registration NSL 1. Carries legal lettering for Mistral . No tax or 'O' discs displayed.

Also still on site were two long-term stored unregistered wheel forward Wright Streetlites - body numbers AE 497 and AE498

That will be the new Streetlite Max, which can be customised to provide up to 44 seats.

No, I checked and maximum seated is 41.

This vehicle was actually built some months ago, before announcement of the 'max'.

On Friday 27th July the only vehicle present was long term resident 'wheel forward' Wight Streetlite (body number AF498) which arrived as far back as late March.

However, it has now been registered - MX12 JXU and has full legal lettering for Mistral although is as of yet untaxed. .

After a relatively quiet spell in recent weeks, on Thursday this week there were three buses in at Mistral's Knutsford HQ, all of which had arrived over past couple of days;

ADL Enviro 200 MX10 DXD
This was delivered to Brittania Parking, Bournemouth (DT) when new in April 2010 so presumably returning off lease (?).

A Wright Streetlite DF MX62 ARU
This had recently been on demonstration duties with Centrebus in Leicester.

The third bus was another door forward Wright Streetlite, as yet unregistered but carrying body number AG 081). Line-up HERE.
