Great stuff! :)

I take it all the old solos will be withdrawn when the newbies go into service?

The P13 fleetcard (to appear on mbonwick.110mb.com soon) lists 20762 as going to Will Hull for "Road Project" - no fee.

Seeing as Barrow have won the FA Trophy, I wonder if there'll be an Open Top tour for the team soon, and if so, which vehicle will do it? ;)

Possibly the Clarksons open-topper, with it being the nearest. Unless 16294 is sent from Kendal.

Here's a thought for you:

Merseyside have sent 5 B10Ms to Carlisle. They are listed as moving to "Carlisle PS" on the Merseyside fleetcard.

There are 5 M/N B10Ms currently in MagicBus livery...coincidence?

They had to change the Destination input thingy twice to get the blind working and they have all been taken out of the new solo's.
Most of the new solo`s have had legals applied apart from 47731 and 47730 is awaiting legal address.

The old G reg of Rosies is still on the road in Newcastle. I travelled on her everyday on the 217 service, agreed the slam door was not perfect but the driver who was always on that service opened it for you. They got it from AA travel not Ratcliff,s.

Just found this link to a picture of Rosies Travels old minibus still in service. I do not know if this is the person who bought it from them. The owner of Rosies told me that she was a brilliant runner but she went through oil faster than the Amoco Cadiz.

14245 out of the paintshop and is in a red and cream livery, looked similar to the CMS livery as on the VR and National that are preserved by the Heritage Trust but it was under cover so could be wrong!!!
