Royal Motorways have acquired ex Ridleys Plaxton Elite YX69 LHR, which now carries the plate UK69 RMW.

On Alcester Schools yesterday was Royal Motorways K700 RMW - a 15 metre Volvo/Plaxton Panther which has, I think, also recently come from Ridleys. Unfortunately I don't know the previous registration.
It looked resplendent in Royal Motorways livery.

Also, as part of the expansion of Royal Motorways, they have opened a second Operating Centre. This one is at  UNIT 5, UPPER CROSSGATE ROAD, PARK FARM INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, REDDITCH, B98 7SR.

It's brilliant to have a fleet list Corndog - thank you.
 
A few questions from me:

Is B12 GWP the Jonckheere Mistral 50 that used to be Dudley's FP51 EUJ?
Is Y598 CAY still with Royal Motorways or has it moved on to D R M, Bromyard as I've seen suggested elsewhere? I saw it the other day in Royal Motorways livery but with no decals and looking rather tatty - which is not how Royal Motorways vehicles normally look.
If Royal Motorways have three ex Ridleys vehicles and two of them are K700 RMW and UK69 RMW, which is the third one?
Has YN05 HVL - Mercedes O814D/ Plaxton Cheetah moved on?
Has DC10 CED - Volvo B12B/ Volvo 9700 moved on?

Hi it's at our Radford depo near Inkberrow. It belongs to my old bus, Chris Dudley of Dudley's coaches. Chris actually drives for us most days 

Thanks again. Glad the coach is still about.
