Ex John Fishwicks & Sons. Was it in fleet livery or allover white?

I was wondering why they weren't for sale at the auction. Have they all gone to Claribels?

The Pulsars weren't included in the auction as they were leased & returned to Arriva Bus & Coach, Gomersal

Cheers @James4368.

I assume they've bought them to replace older Commanders?

Possible @Winston

Might head to depot tomorrow. Only problem is I don't know what time all buses depart depot?

@James4368 they would make useful replacements for 53/54 plate Commanders, I'd be surprised if they were fleet additions as isn't it already pretty cosy in the depot with the current bus & coach fleet?

@James4368

Most if not all the bus fleet should still be there, as most routes don't start until 9.30 - 10am on a Sat

Guessing the other three are YJ60GJF and YJ12CHG/H as these were the only 60-plate and 12-plate examples at Fishwicks.

James4368

YJ60GHF , YJ12CHH are at depot ( fleet livery)
YJ60GJF is in John Fishwicks livery still
YJ12CHF gone for repaint
