On Fri I saw two allover white Caetano Levantes on the M1, one at least was on the 410, the second may also have been on the 410?

I suspect these may have been operating with Epsom Coaches, as I understand that NX ops have taken Epsom's diagrams off the NX 550 back in-house, not sure of the reasons why?

Epsom may have two all white Levante's, I saw two in close succession on both North/Southbound trips up the M1 a week last Fri,

Epsom coaches who run a regular 410 service to Wolverhampton and who also do a lot of service extra services (dupes) have repainted one of there nx levantes into there own colours, and was on the 17:30 410 today, and it looks cracking.

Epsom aren't the only ones to have non nx branded levantes, there are ever increasing more amounts creeping up, Yeomans Cannon travel of Hereford had a tri-axle Scania levante running on the 528 yesterday and you will regulary serr Travellers choice scania levantes come through Birmingham too!

The 461 interworks in with the 426 I believe. I believe it is operated by Heanor depot, but possibly with a Durham vehicle? I do not believe this particular diagram is due to change over the coming weeks.

Irizar have lost out big style on regular large fleet orders by not being prepared to adapt/re-design the PB's front entrance to accommodate the PLS wheelchair lifts.

An entire NX fleet comprising of Irizar PB's would look far superior to the Levantes
