Arriva North West: 2513 : CX05AAN : VDL SB200 / Wright Commander, seen here in Bolton on 25th Jun 14 still showing its ex Welsh origins with a Welsh dragon on the back windows and a dual dialogue advert.

Bradshaws Travel (Knott End On Sea): X38UAO : Volvo B7TL / ALX400, A recent acquisition to the fleet was put on show at the Totally Transport event in Blackpool on 22nd Jun 14. It will be pretty easy to spot from a distance in the bright colours it currently has!

Cavendish Coaches (Porth): YI11CAV : Scania / Irizar PB, the registration is a rereg and for now its a unknown for me however it did seem a bit odd seeing a YI registration (I suspect a few Newcastle operators have missed a trick here!), seen at Lancaster on 22nd Jun 14.

Nottingham City Transport: 760 : YN07EYY : Scania N94UD / Optare Omnidekka, seen in the very colourful Orange line route 36 livery, the fact its snapped at Blackburn on 25th Jun 14 may mean a change of livery or some rework.
