I think it's great to see local operators helping each other out. There was a Grayscroft Scania Omnicity in the yard this morning. I believe they might have purchased that grayscroft Scania Omnicity as one was recently listed on eBay a week or so back, if it's the same one, I have attached a photo link of a screenshot I took of the initial listing: ibb.co/ZJThNYn They have YS03 ZHP not sure if it's the same one been re-registered

So most likely yeah it's probably the same bus

Probably a stupid question but is the 29 or 29A running currently as it's not been tracking on Bustimes since the 21st January and 10th February respectively. I assume it's just a problem with Bustimes or maybe the ticketer system but I thought it'd be worth a check just in case. The 61/61A has been tracking fine despite this

The 61/61A has been tracking fine despite this 61 & 61A tracks and last week the 29A was tracking but 29 hasn't since the route change.

PL06 RYO now a permanent member of the fleet Now that is a bus that urgently needs repainting, it looks like it's had all sorts of bits replaced with that dreadful, lazy paint job from it's time with ironically named Diamond, going way off topic but what the hell was the person on who thought of that livery, or did they leave it in the hands of a toddler?

If it’s like many of the vehicles in this fleet I doubt it’ll stick around long enough. The fleet seems to change every month.

That's actually the PrestonBus livery! It's now been in those same base colours with at least 5 owners, judging by pictures on Flickr. Diamond only changed the fleetnames and removed "r city" from the end of the strapline, and it seems to be J & B who then removed the fleetnames (but not the strapline or the Rotala logo!). It's since moved on to Kilvington's and now Yorkshire Buses with no further obvious change.

I`m pretty sure that once both time and finances allow then the fleet will get liveried up and look awesome. I`m wondering what the final livery will look like and if it`ll be some sort of take on the 1990`s Yorkshire Woollen red and cream?. I`m sure that the company had a wright bodied single decker painted up when they first started operations and it was a combination of red and cream with a yellow stripe added, it looks awesome if anyone finds the photo of it.

Turns out FJ55 AAF is on loan to allow the repaint programme to take place.

Has to be said, that is a nice smart livery.

My own very personal view is that i am hoping or at least it would be really good if the rest of the fleet turns out looking like that wright bodied single decker bus. Its smart and sleek and sharp and it will look very professional on all of the buses.
I`m very sure that in time all the fleet will look like that.
Bryan.
