Possibly the preston buses could be going. Some people could be confused when they see a preston bus and not diamond.

I'd be interested in what this new service is as I haven't seen anything registered on VOSA for January so this new service must be starting later next year

The Prestonbus Livery is the Alternate Diamondbus Livery as some are now aware the 5 Scania's have been painted into Prestonbus Livery but are Green Diamond Branded with Trafford Centre Decals

Can you elaborate on the 'third party' or is it a closely guarded secret?

I notice they Still have centre doors, I'm assuming as they have been painted the dual door layout is to remain but will they use the centre doors?

I think it's a shame really given thier slow but steady investment at Preston that they couldn't spend a little extra money converting them to single door layout.
