One thing I must say is the fleet always looks good. The Volvo/Scania fleet are great and there is a noticeable reduction in Solo's which is excellent (they are very comfy but were often placed on peak time routes)

Can anyone shed any light on the school fleet? I understand the yellow and blue deckers are ex-Metrobus vehicles, but what about the Blue/baige ones? Where did they come from? Also I have seen pics of burdgandy/baige ones. Do they not want to paint them, or do they think an old fleet in their livery will tarnish the brand?

I also believe there were Olympians in the Rossendale Transport fleet, in non-Handyrider/Easyride scheme. Hopefully they will buy some modern deckers like the B9 for busy routes.

Think School Fleet seem to be repainted whenever theres paint leftover - carnt seem them buying B9TLs - more like Ex-London B7TL/Tridents
