I casn't find any trace of YJ58CFA on any Arriva fleet lists.  They have CCA, CCF and CFF in Hinckley.  There is a link though, CFA and CFF were a pair bought by Haywood & Prosser of Coventry in 2008.

Not all Arriva subsidaries use corporate blue, another is Yorkshire Tiger aka Centrebus Holdings.

Arriva press release
09 Sep 2013
Centrebus (Holdings) Limited
Arriva's joint venture partners in Centrebus (Holdings) Limited, which was formed in 2008, have decided to leave making Arriva the sole operator of the business.
The business operates 152 vehicles and employs 360 people in West Yorkshire and Hinckley. The operations in West Yorkshire will be led by business director Martin Gilbert and the Hinckley operation will report into Arriva's Midlands region.
Arriva has confirmed that it is business as usual for customers and employees, with no planned changes to fares and service levels, or to day-to-day operations.
Note: Arriva has no involvement in Centrebus Limited operations (Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Luton, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire).

What D & G book ?

My mistake, only looked for legals in normal place.

Solo MX54 KYE on the Stafford local services for the last 2 days replacing the normal no 4 - X546 GGO.  No fleetname or number and no legal's as far as I could see.  Looks a bit scruffy compared to others in the fleet being all over red with no darker red skirt.  Anyone any idea if this and it's sister KYF are now formerly in the Select fleet and if so what fleet numbers they have are will be given.

Once again  Tony, thanks for fleet update.

They were out and about in Stafford but then Stafford escaped the worst of the weather.

Chasebus quote from post in March 'The only thing I can tell you 100% is that we aim to be up and running by September'. looks to me, more and more like a President Trump Fake News story.

January movements refers to 6200 should this be 6300.

Must have pulled the plug as his facebook page has also disappeared.  Did a good job with the livery of the Excel he took to Showbus last year but suspect he ran out of money and his so called backers pulled out.

See my post about 193, perhaps that's being used for parts to keep the others going.

Dart 193 whilst still on company fleet list appears to be retained for spares only if photos on Facebook are anything to go by.

2 door E200's are 1-YX 12 AOF, 2-YX 12 AON and 3-YX 12 AYF.  Single door E200's are LJ 56 VSU and LJ 56 VSP. They also have Optare Solo MX 54 KYE which has been given the fleet number 9 on loan.

Read elsewhere that Select now have an Optare Solo M850 MX54KYF. Can anyone confirm this.

I realise that buslistsontheweb only covers the first owner but normally Arriva and the other big players buy in batches not single vehicles hence my query about loan.
