RE: Rossendalebus
The problem with this is there's still quite a few PSV mot stations that only do written paperwork and its known that paying road tax at the post office can lead to the dvla website to say there's no mot or tax, so its easily possible it currently has both

I would imagine it could easily be read as a 6 with some fancy squiggles, or even just seen as a solid block by someone with poor eyesight.

Having now looked at the regulations they don't seem to seem to specify any legibility requirements other than a minimum size.

Yep, largely “guidelines”, rather than legal requirements - so nothing illegal.
I believe the whole ‘no MoT’ allegation only came from keyboard warriors who don’t understand that details on websites aren’t always accurate - particularly relating to PCV vehicles.

Yet again so called 'enthusiasts' who will spend hours on dvla mot and tax checker sites and assume because the reg either doesn't come up or comes up with 'no mot held' it's on the road illegally.

Rosso have posted details of their services over the Christmas and New Year period, a full 48 days before Christmas. Rosso will be running hourly services on Boxing Day on services 468, 469 and Red4.

Looks like some of Rosso's Burnley Depot drivers have been trained up on Burnley Depot's ticket machines as I caught Rosso's 466 Rawtenstall-Todmorden yesterday which was one of the grey Dennis Triident Plaxton Presidents complete with Rosso driver and the ticket machine was fully working and programmed for the route so I'm guessing Rosso Routes are now programmed into the machines and would guess this is also the same at Intack for when Blackburn Bus Company vehicles are used on Rosso routes.

As with Stagecoach in Liverpool, this news is a nice early Christmas present.

It will assist with integrated ticketing if all buses can use the same ticket machine types irrespective of Transdev or Rosso heritage.

I think they have had them since about August. They were acquired to replace older buses on TFGM School contracts and are numbered 2801-5.
