Yeah thats the one as even the leyland olympian looks clean and tidy.

Think I know where you mean on the left hand side.
I also spotted two of the darts one of which was Y186 CFS. Both was in the livery from the link below but the other one (unknown reg) had a red panel that said 'Go Travel' in white rather than JMB Travel.

I'm unsure of the registration of the red Merc but it looks like PLZ 5598

I think most of the buses they have are from Scotland, did a search of several of them at random and they come up as Glasgow or Dumfries

Today's pictures from the yard

Edit:also saw a white Dennis Dart R330 XYG and the red Merc is PLZ 5590 and not PLZ 5598

Ow do all,
We were traveling on a #658 from Leigh to Wigan and we noticed a cream & maroon Volvo double decker across the gate.. Any ideas of the reg? Also are Blakeleys starting a new yard in Bickershaw? There was an Ex Arriva London DLA on the South side of the B5237... Reg for this one would be helpful too...

Thanks in advance

Pretty sure that is Blakeleys in Bickershaw although I think it's a recycleing centre and not a scrap yard.
Your Volvo double decker is an ex Pilkington Bus and pictures are on #18 of this thread under motormayhem's pilkington bus. As for the DLA I don't know but I'll have a ride up Tomorrow or Tuesday.
