Ex-MTL 6505 (L505 TKA) Volvo B10B/Wright Endurance seen racing through Bootle with "----School Service" on its yellow roller blinds. So it's no longer Arriva's Trainer 8215 then? Dark green painted skirting and no ARRIVA logos anywhere, mean I reckon its now owned by Presidential....

It's been with Presidential since at least January. Oh Superman where are you now, when everything's gone wrong somehow, the men of steel, the men of power, are losing control by the hour.

Noted Presidential's latest acquisition today, ex-MTL North 0312, ArrNW 3312 (and latterly owned by Peoplesbus) (R312 WVR) Olympian/Palatine2 decker is here, painted in the old MTL-style livery. Spotted it on 'HF3' (school service) route. It's been given a black-painted rear bumper and it still seems to have the Arriva 'Tyne Bridge' moquette fitted. As seen at the depot... https://www.flickr.com/photos/80127860@N03/15548919821/ (Photo Credit; Daniel Anderton) Perfect bus for preservation?? As seen here 16 years ago, Queen Square.... https://www.flickr.com/photos/26270922@N08/6427738389/ (Photo Credit; James) |

RE: Presidential Travel/Napier Point
New term, new buses (sort of).... Presidential/Napier seem to have bought two new (secondhand) deckers for the new school term. Both are ex-Arriva London DLAs and both are still in their original London Red liveries. Ex-DLA173 (W373 VGJ) was London's oldest wheelchair-accessible bus up until very recently. Seen here in February... https://www.flickr.com/photos/31973233@N08/16469988447/ (Photo Credit; FF3170) Meanwhile, ex-DLA235 (X435 FGP) appears to be the other one. Seen here a few years ago.... https://www.flickr.com/photos/28175028@N03/7776334466/ (Photo Credit; M Webster) Both deckers seen this week on 'HF2-SCHOOL SERVICE' routes. |

RE: Presidential Travel/Napier Point
Four of Presidential's DLA deckers have now been given Irish number plates. Dual-door ex-DLA235 (X435 FGP) is now (MIG 9501) Meanwhile, single-door conversion ex-DLA238 (X438 FGP) is now (MIG 9502). This bus used to be with Arriva Midlands and latterly it was D&G 178. Notable for its distinctive orange colour and LED display. Seen here last year with D&G... https://www.flickr.com/photos/34487875@N07/22424693237/ (Photo Credit; cliff the milk) Another single-door DLA -possibly ex-DLA371 (LJ03 MVC)- is now (MIG 9503) and it is now painted dark blue. Finally, dual-door ex-DLA173 (W373 VGJ) has now been re-registered to (MIG 9504). Hope this helps! |
