Anyone heard anything about Worcester new Volvo B7RLE Plaxton Centro as I saw a post on Midlandred.net about it bus nothing since. I would ask in there but for some reason the Forum is closed to new members or at least me anyway.

thanks if anyone can help.

Its meant to be being painted into new livery before entering service, no details on the identity yet though.

I suspect 66691 will be the additional Volvo/Centro ex Veolia acquired via Ensign, it appeared on Ross Newman's September movements. Additionally First have acquired a number of Solo's from the same source

Volvo B7RLE CN07HVG   Solo's MX56NLJ / NLK   CN06BXF / BXH   CN07KZK / KZL / KZM     VX57CYO:  First Group.

I take it you mean the Solo's. Only stated as sold to First Group, not seen anything reported online as yet that second Solo's are due anywhere

Potentially Hampshire and Dorset, i know they were looking for something to replace Mercs. Thanks.

Cool thanks guys. I was woundering why the others werent painted in the new livery as it was around when they were aquired but i think looking and thinking about it that could have been down to the fact that it wasn't standard when they came to be painted.

Ah thanks Tony, would appear First are trying to update the PMT fleet with the LK53 Darts and KP54 Geminis, nice too see them investing.
