The R-CKO’s arrived in Late 2003, a few years after the 86 branded N-DWY’s. Most of the batch ended up at Speke, but the remainder went to Kent Thameside later Kent & Sussex, where they remained dual door for a while before a conversion years after the Speke batch

From memory, there was only R201-3/13CKO up here in Merseyside, the rest either stayed down south or went to Arriva NE.....
