The remaining long withdrawn DAF/Mylleniums have been both driven and towed away with the assistance of Johnsons of Banks' ERF wrecker. It has been suggested that these have passed to a new owner in the Bolton. Confirmation would be greatly received.

All remaining vehicles operated around Southport seem to be operating out of a new location shared with Fusco's Travel on nearby Russell Road trading estate.

Canning Road may be getting freed up for another influx of withdrawn stock as I would think some of the more senior Solos could be withdrawn at the beginning of next months when the 09 plates from Blackpool are freed up from that operation- only speculating though. Or it could be that Canning Road is an extravagance when only 5 or 6 buses are operated out of there.

There are six DAF/East Lancs Myllenniums currently at Bolton, they have been sold to the bus dealers that share the depot. I can only remember the registration of one of them, it was C19 MFY, and this arrived today (Saturday 23.11.13) on the back of a recovery truck.

RE: Cumfybus
Using the DVLA database (and going through these registrations alphabetically), it's possible to trace five yellow Optares all fitted with the Mercedes OM904 4.2 litre diesel engine.
Presumably these are all M7200SE-R Solos and they're all for CUMFY?

(YD63 VBP) NEW 25-11-2013, TAX 01-12-2014, 4250ccDIESEL, YELLOW, £220 PER YEAR.
(YD63 VBT) NEW 25-11-2013, TAX 01-12-2014, 4250ccDIESEL, YELLOW, £220 PER YEAR.
(YD63 VBU) NEW 25-11-2013, TAX 01-12-2014, 4250ccDIESEL, YELLOW, £220 PER YEAR.
(YD63 VBV) NEW 25-11-2013, TAX 01-12-2014, 4250ccDIESEL, YELLOW, £220 PER YEAR.
(YD63 VBX) NEW 25-11-2013, TAX 01-12-2014, 4250ccDIESEL, YELLOW, £220 PER YEAR.

As you can see, they've all been registered from today- which is kind of ironic seeing at least three of them were seen Saturday 23-11.
Two more carry similar plates, but they were registered last Monday and are in white, so they're probably not part of CUMFY's order.

(YD63 VBN) NEW 18-11-2013, TAX 01-11-2014, 4250ccDIESEL, WHITE, £220 PER YEAR.
(YD63 VBO) NEW 18-11-2013, TAX 01-11-2014, 4250ccDIESEL, WHITE, £220 PER YEAR.

Yes - it operates with the 58C, 144 and 145 during the day on Mondays to Saturdays (three buses)!

RE: Cumfybus
Haven't seen the E20D yet, but -luckily- there's a plain white Wrightbus StreetLite operating on these routes today (must be a Mistral rental??)
(MX11 JYV) is the reg.

As seen here in September, in Northampton, with Z&S Buses...
