Solo SR YJ61JGX has joined the fleet. <PHOTO> B35F - it was new January 2012 to Wilson, Rhu, Argyll. In 6/2015 it joined Law, (Blue Bus) Shotts, North Lanarkshire. It was acquired to enable a spare bus to be made available. Unfortunately the Denbighshire branded Solos SR YJ18CZL has been involved in a serious RTC on the A5 on 29th September and is now out of service so the '61' Solo will be used as its replacement on the 55 / X5 until further notice.

Routemasters 4 Hire, Llay, Wrexham
This firm has a small fleet of three Routemasters which are available for hire for weddings or any other events. One of these Routemasters has recently been offered for sale but it still remains in the fleet. At the premises of Routemasters 4 Hire was privately owned OJD 93R. This Bristol LH / ECW was new to London Transport as BL88 and was originally registered OJD88R. It was allocated to various depots including Hounslow, Kingston and Croydon, In November 2011 it was sold to OK, Bishop Auckland and for unknown reason was re-registered to OJD93R and given fleet number 9093. It appears to have been withdrawn in early 1997 and has since been stored awaiting restoration. <photo rear> <photo front>
Whilst NOT owned by Routemasters 4 Hire they are involved with the restoration and garaging and it is intended that it will join the Routemasters available for hire.

I must admit that the new take on the livery does remind me of that of a certain defunct operators
