This was originally the legal name of Strawberry but when that company was merged into SLT, Rolling Solutions became a dormant company. A rejig by D&G "Group" saw Rolling Solutions be reactivated and used instead of the original D&G entity.

Green Triangle Buses has never traded as D&G.

Just checked and it was the other way around from what I thought some old South Lancs Travel bus registrations say Rolling Solutions Limited t/a South Lancs Travel opposed to some D&G ones saying Green Triangle Buses t/a D&G Bus.

Something happened which resulted in him leaving SLT and at the same time selling Strawberry to D&G which saw it being merged into SLT.

Thanks for that Nicholas.

Strawberry gained a Dart/East Lancs EL2000 from D&G, the Cadets went the other way after the merger/takeover.

Spotted Wright Streetlite BV63OEW being hooked up to a Bardsleys recovery wagon in Ormskirk bus station at about 4pm yesterday. It had obviously failed while working Edgehill University shuttle route EL1. A 57 reg Optare Solo was bought down to replace it.

Saw a white Wright Streetlite yesterday with Diamond stickers and ticket ads etc on Manchester Road in Leigh or Astley. Can't rember the route but pretty sure it was a 64 or 65 reg. Anybody any ideas?
The only other Streetlite I've found on this thread is KV63 *** working the VH1 shuttle in Ormskirk.
