I got 18041 and 18042 yesterday 'SN17 MHU/V'. I did see a couple of Arriva NW B5LHs with 17 plates amongst the loads of '66' reg they also have but never managed to photo any

The rest of that delivery had 66 plates-which was 10811 to 10843 for completeness. Kirkby is to the North East of Liverpool and close to Gillmoss garage where it operates from.
Incidentally I've just seen my first 17 plate buses. Both are in a delivery for Cardiff Bus-551 is registered CN 17 BGK,556 carries CN 17 BGY. The delivery is 551 to 560.

Ever heard of Google?
Quoting Wikipedia:
Kirkby is a town in the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley, Merseyside, England. Historically in Lancashire, it developed from the 1950s to the 1970s as a housing overspill of Liverpool.

There's a lot of bitching goes on on this forum, so I might as well join in.
It all started because somebody put something on Flickr and couldn't be arsed to put on a title, a description or any tags.
It might be at Kirkby but that's not specifically stated, just that the journey involved Kirkby. But which Kirkby? Kirkby Lonsdale, Kirkby Stephen, Kirkby in Merseyside, Kirkbymoorside, Kirkby-in-Ashfield?
FFS, don't we all know that the Lady Lever Gallery is in Port Sunlight so it's likely to be the Kirkby near there?
A clear and simple statement of the bus operator, number and location would have removed all doubt and prevented me haven't a rant about the bitching.
There's quite a few retards on here as well which doesn't help. Thank god the guy who kept asking for change has left lol
If the bus looked like this excellent creation by Garry Luck evokes an era when you could identify a city by it's buses!

Yes, always worth a visit for me, I usually cop a few "London" coaches. Stratford can vary though as on my next visit I might only log twenty vehicles as opposed to the sixty or so I logged in two hour period on this visit. Always newer vehicles about, but the highlight for me of this visit was a one-owner "02" plate vehicle - Toyota/Caetano Mini-bus BD02RWW operated by Williams [ Angela's ] of Witney. 15 years with one owner, still in all over white as the photo's on Flickr show and not , as far as I am aware ever having been "re-registered" ! ;D

It's a pity that I don't have any "coach-magnets" near me. You're very lucky to have Stratford.
