At least one other that springs to mind is DVG528, DCA 528X, in Blackpool.

JMB 401T and WTU 467W have also both been reported in use fairly recently (from http://bcv.robsly.com), and the former looks like it has just been relicensed for another year.

I think Crosville Motor Services in Weston Super Mare also have a couple of ex-Crosville vehicles in service including KG118 and an open top DFG.

RE: Merseypride
M226 AKB is unlicensed so I presume gone however interestingly SHE 621Y is back on a SORN, using the dates it must have been taken out of service in December 2011, most of their buses seem to go unlicensed when withdrawn but not this one.

RE: Merseypride
M226 AKB was written off by the insurance company and consequently scrapped, Im informed. Unsure of dates.

Been like that for a while mate, probably don't have the time or resources to have it repainted.

Noticed what appears to be an Alexander Royale bodied Volvo Olympian in Merseyprides yard this afternoon. Can't confirm the ID but looked like a air conditioned example such as those used on Airbus duties down in London a few years back.

RE: Merseypride
Mersypride seemed to have purchased a royale from national express west midlands as its still in west mids fleet livery and been in use on schools.

The first wheelchair accessible vehicle in their fleet?

Certainly the first double decker with a wheelchair lift
