Yes, they're Volvo B7TLs with Eclipse Gemini bodies. A friend told me they were DAFs. Apologies for any confusion caused.

No confusion lol as i think the volvos are better than the dafs but thats my my personal opinion.

You're right - I've found this photo by Andy Barsley showing one of them with HCT legal lettering, taken in September.

On a separate note I've noticed that certain Aleros cannot be found on DVLA as "Optare". By a lucky guess I've found out that YR52 WNG (and also HTL's YN54 VWV) can be found by entering "Optare Alero" as the manufacturer. Just thought that might be handy to know for anyone wanting to look them up! (However, even that doesn't work for MH03 RHF, so I've no idea what that's registered as!)

According to Cartell:

Registration MH03RHF
Make OPTARE
Model ALERO

Thanks, I wasn't aware of cartell.ie - that's a useful site to know about if you're not sure of a manufacturer, or how its name is rendered in the database. For example, I was previously never able to figure out what to enter in order to find P202 KKY (SPARTAN TX2242D) or N349 FKU (KIRN MOGUL 232).

I wonder, then, what it is that stops MH03 RHF from showing up in vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk?

Can anyone confirm that these did indeed arrive?

Yes they have arrived they are parked up in Aintree Garage still in London red.


RE: Cumfybus - T42 PVM - 16/01/2017 10:52

Are they getting the middle door removed and getting repainted?


RE: Cumfybus - B10B6514 - 16/01/2017 11:26

Has anyone any photos of them yet?
