South West Coaches Deckers

[henairs]

Hi,
South West Coaches have acquired at least 3 Omnicity type Deckers (or like) to work on school contracts in the area.
These are in a grey and yellow livery and carry cherished reg's as far as I can tell.
Seen today in action were Y21 SWC/ Y22 SWC and Y23 SWC.
Has anybody else got any information on these please, previous owner and confirmation of type would be useful,
Many Thanks,
Mike R

They came from London through Ensign according to Flickr and are Scania Omnideckers.

They're actually Omnicities, i.e. complete products made by Scania. Omnideckers are those bodied by East Lancs on Scania running gear.

One of them is presumably LX09 AEK which is ex Stagecoach London 15064.

Thanks everyone for your replies. Having ridden this type of vehicle including one at Longleat Safari Park I have found them to be excellent vehicles. This afternoon whilst coming back from Glastonbury on the 77 service to Yeovil there was one in front of us from Somerton along the B3151. Stormed up Kingsdon Hill and pulled away from us as we had to turn left into Kingsdon village.
Really smart livery,
Mike R

Despite the title to the photo, it is not an Omnidecker - it is definitely a Scania Omnicity
