It's to be able to move the Tempo to school work to replace one of the Bovas.

the Tempo is normally on school runs with the eclipses and excel2 with the Metrocity been used when the tempo is on 205. The 70 seater Bovas are normally allocated to the Shawcross & Thornhill runs to Fishers

so that can leave the way for the Metrocity and Streetlite to stick to 205 and allows the Metrocity to cover school runs. So there's now 10 service buses there. 7 for the Fishers school runs, 1 for 205 and two spares (x2 eclipses (P2 & V3JJL), X1 Excel 2, X3 Optare Tempos, X1 Metrocity, X1 Streetlite, X1 Pulsar & X1 Centro)

The Plaxton Centro is YJ59 AYX on VDL SB200 chassis. Its been with multiple operators including Geldards and Yorkshire Tiger Leeds. It's last operator was Leask like the Pulsar and whose livery it is on. There's a photo of it on Flickr on AL5 school route. The 2 10reg Tempos are in the "new" Longstaff Livery like the Streetlite and Metrocity. It'll be interesting to see if the Pulsar and Centro are repainted in to this livery or in the Lyles livery like with previous service buses they had for school runs.

Nice one. Not had chance to see it. I noticed when passing the depot Last Wednesday evening they still have the 70 aeater 52 reg Bova which was up for sale the vast majority of last year. Just the Centro to gain one of the liveries then.
