It is confusing alot of passengers, many getting on the bus thinking it's the coastliner. Fair enough the repaint can wait but removing coastliner titles is a fairly easy job. I think most will be bothered about their bus turning up on time, not what the fleetnames say.

What is happening with the ex YCL Geminis ? Not sure but I doubt they'll be going anywhere in near future. With 3602/3/10/12/13 yet to go away for refurb I would say it will be well into next spring at the earliest before they are released.

They would make ideal replacements for Oly's at Keighley.

They would get wrecked easily. Olympians seem to cope fine with it.

There was talk about them eventually replacing the Presidents on the Lancashire Way (at least one is already there). Some of the Presidents from there would probably move across to Keighley.

They are withdrawn
Some vehicles have been parked withdrawn in Blackburn or Burnley for years, so don't expect anything urgent to happen.

Take into account Book Value, Damages i.e Chassis or Bodywork they might find it more viable to store rather than scrap!

I don't understand why Transdev have 25 year old double deckers in service in Lancashire yet more modern buses like Solo's and B6's are in store.
