Newly arrived today is Versa V1110 AJ08BUS with DP40F seating. New in June 2008 to AndyBus Daunstsey. It is having its previous owners vinyls removed and will probably enter service before being repainted. It will also shortly loose its cherished plate which will be returned to its former operator.

That is quite a purchase of vehicles, I take it they will replace at least some of the current fleet?

If YJ59NMZ is being repaired as you say it would have been repaired and back in service by now.

They have acquired another Scania K114EB4 / Irizar – C53F namely YN06JXA. It is currently being prepared for service and should be ready in the new year. YN06NYU which was acquired in the summer is currently having a respray and should receive the company's livery shortly



Price Coaches, New Broughton,
Volvo Olympian / Northern Counties Palatine decker P603CAY has been sold to a private purchaser who intends to convert it into a mobile canteen for use in Derby.

Cheetah PCZ5691 has been repaired following its RTC near Wrexham station and should be back in service soon after its suspension receives attention.


D Jones and Son, Acrefair
Both the ex Maltese Optare SR's KF14FHU, KF14FJN have returned to Dawsons Rentals and will not be purchased. There is some progress with the repairs to Versa YJ59NMZ in that some of the waited for parts have arrived from Optare. Hopefully the work can now start after a considerable delay.
