so they have midlands vdl buses and the 3 scanias, will these be getting new fleet numbers and do they just have the 1 depot now??

arrivaaston

Not seen a post for these so thought I'd start 1, what do people think of these as a company? The 3 ex-midland scanias didint last long with D&G did they?

They have gone to South Lancs Travel, I think they are also owned by D&G

Yes the MCV's are still with D&G, see this pic taken on Thursday.

The second one is on the next picture.


South Lancs Travel's livery is white, blue and yellow (http://www.flickr.com/photos/68628359@N04/8589704805/)
So I would think the OmniCity's will get repainted into fleet livery soon.

Shame these didn't come to the Arriva fleet

The scanias was brillient. I enjoyed quite a few trips on 35 and 334. Glad they have gone to south lancs as ive used them in manchester!

Good to see D and G back expanding again.

Bakerbus are part of King Long Group iirc?

Wonder what will happen to the Volvo B5LH's?

What will happen to the service buses
Bakers have will they sold or returned to where there r loaned from

Route one says the hybrids aren't involved in the sale - presumably they are being sold separately.

Will be interesting as I don't know what happens when GBF buses come to be sold when an operator is defunct. Guess they'd be popular if they ever came up for sale though!
