Are you sure it's 228 & not another reg swap?

I saw it as well today. It is 'W228 DNO', with its Stagecoach Interior

I had ex Yardley Travel T72WWV on the 72 home tonight.
Interestingly it's wheelchair tip up seat is covered in WMT spec (blue with red specks) moquette.

The driver also was driving with one hand, drinking red bull with the other and had an earphone in his right ear. Can't wait until this operator is sorted out and it's backside kicked!

It may be because it was originally owned by NX subsidiary Airlinks, I suspect they may have been delivered new with TWM spec interior

I did wonder if originally it was all like that due to the orange poles too.
Is that what the livery is very TWM style too?

That was just the livery for route H30.

I think most Airlink buses are allover white

It does not take much to write 101 on a bit of paper. I doubt VIP would have put an LED display in it as it is roller blinds in the 2 ex-Yardley Travel Darts

When Yardley Travel ran the 28 did they have bits of scribbled paper on the front too, never seen the service in operation
