True but as we are owned by RATP group now the money issue would not be a problem.

Presumably there main use will be on schools but I suspect they will see limited use on private hires, but when I see the one that seems to be allocated to Manchester glide past my house every afternoon on the 864, it just suggests there getting paid way to much by TFGM to operate it
but as you say money is clearly not an issue where RATP are concerned.

Can anyone point me in the direction of an up to date Selwyns fleetlist please.
Also, does anyone know what the double deckers at Sharston depot were this afternoon, would the four new 16 reg be on?
Cheers. Pete.

The most recent one I'm aware of is http://busncoachfleetlists.comli.com/Selwyns%20Travel.Html.
Looks mostly accurate except that FN62 CJU should be CDY
Since that was last updated, I believe the following have gone:
37
179, 180, 181
131 and 139 (unsure whether 132 and 140 have also gone but I believe they were supposed to have)
Berkhof YN06 TFY has become SHZ 9024
New additions are twelve tri-axle NatEx Volvo/Caetano Levantes: 235-240, BD65 JEJ/JEO/JEU/JFA/JFE/JFF, and 249-254, BX16 CJZ/CKA/CKC/CKD/CKE/CKF.
Plus the four Enviro400 MMC that you mentioned.
There may well have been other changes I'm unaware of, I don't claim to be well-informed on this particular fleet.

Thanks Chris, this is a big help. Would you know if the D/Ds I saw on Saturday from outside of the Sharston depot would include the four new one's? I think there were seven or eight dds visible with the "new shaped" ones lined up on the left.
Cheers Pete

To be honest Pete I would not know as I'm Runcorn based but would assume that the new ones would be parked up. If you have a high vis vest to hand you could try and ask can u go and take some pics.
