@Busman Jamie @Solo1 - Thanks for the info. Does anyone know if MX54 BLU / HV52 WTD / HV52 WTF / Y152 NLK / Y663 NLO have been repainted in to the Thandi Travel livery yet (i believe that Y661 NLO has already been repainted).

[Busman Jamie]

Y663NLO is in fleet liverey, was on 334 Saturday, i clocked a caetano nimbus in a purple/silver liverey (I think) also on 334 Saturday

@Busman Jamie - Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. The Dennis Dart Caetano Nimbus that you saw in purple and silver livery was probably either HV52 WTD or HV52 WTF which are still in their previous livery from Faresaver Buses in Wiltshire.

Summary:

MX54BLU white, HV52's silver and purple and Y661/3 repainted into fleet colours, Y152NLK seen last week still in New Horizon livery awaiting repaint.

[Busman Jamie]

No problems, also Y661NLO has no fleet mame on whereas Y663 does

BX54 DK(A) (not 100% sure which member of the batch) onto fleet strength, painted.

@DiamondDart - Thanks for the info. That is interesting to hear. Thandi seem to have a very large fleet of buses (they now have at least 13 vehicles) even though they only have a PVR of 7 vehicles. BX54 DKA is a 9.3m Dennis Dart Plaxton Pointer which is quite a rare type of vehicle as not many of them have been built to this length. Also do you know if it still has two doors or has it been converted to single door.

@Westy another Thandi License

That's brave coming off the 334! Opens the door for NX though

Or potentially Diamond, I expect they may have just switched the registration to another license which is yet to be published

Personally I'd be surprised if Diamond went on there. Maybe because if the 311 is unpopular ( Which personally I doubt) then they have nothing plus they have quite a loyal customer Base on the 334. They could even be renumbering to the 34?
