Just went down Bicknhill Lane and noticed a few undregisterd, I assume, B7RLE Eclipses and an Optare Versa. Also an ex London Trident and a Arriva Gemini.

Anybody know what is there, or why the buses are there?

John

The Trident is more than likely be a V-KGW (I think it has been identified elsewhere on the forum), ex Abellio. One has been parked in Elmdon for a good while now

I've just come home from a duty on the 97s!

The Trident is V328KGW, I think there are 6 Vo/Wt Eclipse and two Optare there all unregistered

Is that including the ones parked the other side of the Arriva Gemini?

No, just the ones the main road side, couldn't really drive my 97 up there to have a look by the entrance. If anyone is wondering the unit referred to install air conditioning on buses and regularly has interesting vehicles there

There are currently another 6 x B7RLE/Wright (unregistered Volvo dealer stock) parked at Heysham Docks without destination equipment

I didn't drive up either, could just make out 1 or 2 next to it. Thanks for the clarification on the unit

Maybe, maybe not. The company fits air conditioning to vehicles so they will be going in the workshop and then returned to their owner
