where is the VOSA reg for this please?

It was posted on the VOSA thread. The firm in Street Cars asnd the route numbered SC099 - it is now up on TfGM's changes as well to start from the 6th April. Apparently it is timed to compete with the 360.

SC009? - Sounds more like a school service!

Street cars is a taxi firm based at platt bridge so i can only gather it being a school contract.

It isn't a school service, as it is a Monday to Saturday service, plus school services don't get mentioned on the service changes page. I have been told it will be an hourly service, with hail and ride provision along the entire route!

A Cadet is on the 10A, unfortunately I didn't manage to identify which one :-(
Adding to that a Cadet(Interurban), 2974 & 2701 are all on 33's which is fairly unusual.

2494 was the cadet on the 33

2269, 2315 on the 37/8 and a marshall dart on the 329. The extension of the 329 seem to add an extra 10 minutes onto the journey time tonight. Hopefully this isn't constantly the case as it makes it very touch and go as to whether I make my connection...

Scania1996, despite starting its day on 33s, 2708 was on 10s this afternoon running in convoy with 2990 & 2989... Could this have been the vehicle you saw?

2730 was on 10A as well.

It was definitely 2701 I saw, unless you mean the Cadet?
Moving on today there was yet again another Renown(2729) and Pulsar(2980) on the 33.
Also 2715 was on the 10, it was looking extremely smart and I'm sure the front looks different unless it's just me :P
