Thats good news for Presidential Travel

Its more good news for Napier who had some problems.

It will be good news for the drivers as it saves job losses.

Ex-MTL 6505 (L505 TKA) Volvo B10B/Wright Endurance seen racing through Bootle with "----School Service" on its yellow roller blinds.
So it's no longer Arriva's Trainer 8215 then?
Dark green painted skirting and no ARRIVA logos anywhere, mean I reckon its now owned by Presidential....

It's been with Presidential since at least January.

Noted Presidential's latest acquisition today, ex-MTL North 0312, ArrNW 3312 (and latterly owned by Peoplesbus) (R312 WVR) Olympian/Palatine2 decker is here, painted in the old MTL-style livery.
Spotted it on 'HF3' (school service) route.
It's been given a black-painted rear bumper and it still seems to have the Arriva 'Tyne Bridge' moquette fitted.
As seen at the depot...

New term, new buses (sort of)....
Presidential/Napier seem to have bought two new (secondhand) deckers for the new school term.
Both are ex-Arriva London DLAs and both are still in their original London Red liveries.
Ex-DLA173 (W373 VGJ) was London's oldest wheelchair-accessible bus up until very recently. Seen here in February...

Meanwhile, ex-DLA235 (X435 FGP) appears to be the other one. Seen here a few years ago....

Both deckers seen this week on 'HF2-SCHOOL SERVICE' routes.

Four of Presidential's DLA deckers have now been given Irish number plates.
Dual-door ex-DLA235 (X435 FGP) is now (MIG 9501)
Meanwhile, single-door conversion ex-DLA238 (X438 FGP) is now (MIG 9502). This bus used to be with Arriva Midlands and latterly it was D&G 178.
Notable for its distinctive orange colour and LED display. Seen here last year with D&G...

Another single-door DLA -possibly ex-DLA371 (LJ03 MVC)- is now (MIG 9503) and it is now painted dark blue.
Finally, dual-door ex-DLA173 (W373 VGJ) has now been re-registered to (MIG 9504).
Hope this helps!

MIG 9501 was at Arriva's Green Lane depot this morning
