SLT has just been taken over by Rotala, and is due to be rebranded into Diamond Bus, like their West Midlands operation.

It remains to be seen if their vehicles with SLT-registrations retain these.

Theres apparently a number of Buses in Service from the other Diamond Bus already, am only aware of Two 56 Plated Solo's tho

With the engineering at Diamond Midlands I'm surprised they made it up to diamond North west in one piece!

Someone elsewhere mentioned in the last couple of weeks they had sent four of their newer buses to Crewe and received three older ones in return.

Someone elsewhere mentioned in the last couple of weeks they had sent four of their newer buses to Crewe and received three older ones in return.

That was the night before before the takeover by Rotala took place.

At present I'm only aware of two Blue Diamond branded Solo's 20829/30 YJ56AUC & AUH respectively.

There are suggestions that a Streetlite will soon be joining SLT as well, this is likely to be WF 20981 BV63OEW which is surplus from Heathrow depot.

Someone elsewhere mentioned in the last couple of weeks they had sent four of their newer buses to Crewe and received three older ones in return.

That's what Stagecoach did with the ex-Yorkshire Traction depots before selling the Waterloo (Huddersfield) one to an Arriva/Centrebus consortium.

D&G Bus had a V reg Dart on the 300 route for most of last week in lieu of the usual 55-58 reg Solo so that could be in relation to swapping buses and the newly acquired buses needing rebranding. D&G have only recently acquired Bakerbus who had a similar livery to South Lancs Travel.
