I couldn't help but wonder when I read about this takeover last night if some of the old Kidderminster or Redditch stuff will head north and some of the SLT fleet mentioned above will come to Kidder/Redditch?.. hmm I'm intrigued

Doubt it will  with  it being  managed  by  preston
would've been good if long acre took a few buses like 4 SL64 E200s for any other routes

Rotala didn't buy the 4 x 64 plate E200's, they went to D&G

Good to see the Diamond brand introduced straight away. I have also seem pics of the EX DG omnicitys in service, they should look good in Blue!! They are absolutely cracking vehicles really enjoyed a ride on them when they were on 35

Really? Those still have the racking from airport work I believe... Not a fan of OmniCity's-dark, gloomy, bad quality interior with a pretty poor layout as well that lacks space vs a B7RLE.

Just to be pedantic, the photo's were taken at Long Acre Depot
Ty, although I did see a yellow dart on the other picture hence I thought at SLT depot

BV63 OEW at SLT depot - https://www.facebook.com/SouthLancsTravel/photos/a.401333773378210.1073741828.400519226792998/401333786711542/?type=1&theater
how many are they having & wonder if the streetlights at Redditch  will move to south lancs travel

Having?
This was already in the fleet, of course as this is the only StreetLite it is possible it has been swapped and is going to Redditch?

Why Redditch, Preston already has WF variation we don't. And I'm sure Wessex would have first pickings for the same reason. Tho then again 30806 would have been better off staying at Redditch but that's another story.
Midland Red West, one of the best Companies to serve Redditch, with some of the best buses.

Hardly likely to be going to Preston is it? It has only just been painted in Diamond livery.

I wonder if this might turn out to be a better deal for D&G/JP than Rotala. Surely one of the first actions of an elected mayor is going to be to eliminate the competition on Cross-Manchester services, giving both Stagecoach and First the resources to throw at other routes.

Anyway, yes this ex Heathrow Streetlite is going to Atherton!
