Arriva Shires & Essex in Skem?
Theres a Arriva Shires & Essex Decker that regularly is parked up in Upholland Skem Bound at 07:40 every morning i think its G657URP 5107 there may be more than one decker? It's a Alexander Bodied Olympian it runs in Full Arriva Livery with cctv camera's Arriva website Decal the only giveaway that it may not be an Arriva bus is the Man wearing a tracksuit sat at the wheel Bring Back Arriva Skelmersdale |

Finches are moving towards low floor except in west lancs where there doesn't seem to be contract age? Also Finches probably wouldn't leave a vehicle entirely branded i remember the london Olympians entered service in unbranded states Bring Back Arriva Skelmersdale |

I thought First generally didn't sell on and Arriva blacklined if not going for scrap. |

Pretty sure the ex First Marshalls came via Stagecoach Merseyside. That said First have relaxed this resale policy as of late, Connexions have a few ex-First Scanias, some of these via Stagecoach and others via First themselves. Arriva seem very hit and miss as to what gets black banded these days, depends on the division. Oh Superman where are you now, when everything's gone wrong somehow, the men of steel, the men of power, are losing control by the hour.

The ex first marshall darts they have are ex chester city transport and got sold via stagecoach. Arriva tend to black line veichles but all depends on which depot and whether they had time to do it or if it was a quick sale via a third party. |
