Arriva ordered about 30 Wright Cadet-bodied B6s at the time (1999-2001) for other subsidiaries - not exactly a standard Arriva bus, but Wright Renown-bodied B10s were. On saying that, the 75-Marshall Darts that MTL purchased and received in 1999/2000 were hardly top of the range. One wonders whether the company could afford Volvos at this time?

Not sure, but MTL were on the verge of going bankrupt if they weren't brought out by someone weren't they, going into the rail business i think is what cost them big time.

It's funny the ex London Titans went to Liverpool & St Helens depots, none went to Laird Street, don't think any went to Southport, Laird Street just had Atlanteans & the batch of Cross River Express Volvo Olympians, i felt the CRE olympians were far superior than the ones later delivered to Gillmoss for the 4/5/14, not just in passenger comfort either.
