Initially it was suggested a number of B7’s had been purchased from First and would be retained until the remaining Streetdecks were delivered. It could well be that only one goes to Preston but seems a little odd.

If my snout at First is right then Diamond have paid over the odds for the B7’s and they will want them to make a return before they are disposed.

You're snout is wrong, as previously posted, the ex First B7RLE have been purchased at a very favourable price, Rotala don't overpay for things, that is why they were purchased rather than simply extending their leases by + 6 months.

Rotala will still make a return on the B7RLE in 2-3 years time even without being in revenue earning service.
