There's a dart on 142 which is 05 reg looks recently painted, and interior good condition. Anyone I'd fleet number

Probably either 20001 or 20023 which have been in storage at Tividale ex Wessex

I presume it has got up every hill it has attempted to and is not parked on the roadside somewhere

I've got one, just can't see the fleet number on it. I think it is the same green, but it looks different because there is not so much as the last branding

Streetlite 32308 is on the 16 today

Currently parked up at Tividale (main depot) are the following:

New used additions are 3 x DeeBee (Yellow/Black) liveried & 1 x GHA liveried Optare Solo's.

At least 4 of the ex Preston Bus Hybrid Versa's are parked up out of use.

Over at John's Lane (new depot site) there appear to extra withdrawn Darts parked down the bottom end of the site, along with a Volvo/Wright Eclipse 30883? & a Plaxton Centro, I assume 30303.

Update:

One of the Dee Bee liveried Solo's is a YJ60 examples, there's another allover white Solo since arrived.

The other fire victim which I assume was the one the happnened the day after KR's 30303 was destroyed is a LWB Solo in latest Diamond Livery with rear end fire damage (can't ID), but it parked in John's Lane with the other withdrawn buses. It looks to be a newer example 57 plate & above

I have been to Tividale to day, two of the solos are YJ60KBP,YJ59GFY.One of the Preston buses is YJ61LJF unable to id the others. Had a walk around the yard other side of road SN09FUY is there, only one unable to id was a silver/red enviro 200?

[midlandred2003]

Sorry Preston bus YJ61JJF,fat fingers.

The Wessex E200 is 20820. I don't suppose you made a log of the contents of the other yard with the withdrawn stuff? I only had a look from the footpath through the fence.
