No that's the 2nd prototype, this one I believe is GFR101W Ribble 2101. DBV 100W is with the ribble preservation group I think

Reading the comments from the guy who took these pictures - who i believe is a fitter Blackburn Manner Sutton Street - said they lifted the body up & slid the new chassis under. Read our chat here www.flickr.com/photos/44982638@N03/4133747459 |

We were told only 2 presidents 2704 & 6 by the December timetable change. Though they change their mind more often than a Volvo B7RLE changes gear so anything could happen!

Moving them to Blackburn would be a good idea so they can stop using step entrance Olympians on Spot On services

I think that was a cost cutting exercise after Lancashire Council cut the OAP funding, the step entrance buses use less fuel. Lets not forget there's around 10 B10BLE's in store that were displaced from the Mainline, and could be used in Blackburn if they wanted.

The Wright B10BLE's on some routes have been refurbished heavily.

Images have been deleted of this bus. Any reason? Transdev asked for their removal?

Yeah they did, they like to keep things like this secret usually, they said it was ok but since they asked him to remove them as they changed their mind over the layout!

Wondering whether this is related but Lancs Utd are to restore low floor vehicles to a Blackburn routes starting tomorrow, www.lancashireunited.co.uk/news/170110servchange.aspAccording the the Yahoo Blazefield group these will be double deckers from within Blazefield but they are keeping the actual vehicle identities a secret. |

Noticed that Keighley have been repainting some Presidents that H&D used to use on 770 so it's probably them. H&D look to be using B10s on 770 now
