Latest known fleetchanges
Date added Operator Details  
23rd April Arriva Midlands Sales 2126 (R701 MEW), 2411 (P153 SMW) and 2420 (R867 MCE) have all left for scrap at Watsons, Stafford
24th April Rotala Fleetlists I have now put a full 'Flights Hallmark' fleetlist on (click here) This includes all vehicles allocated to Heathrow, Wessex, and the Birmingham vehicles. This, in conjuction with the Diamond fleetlist (click here) lists all vehicles given as current on the Rotala fleetlist dated 9/4/13 except those at Preston.
26th April Stagecoach Midlands Fleetlist The United Counties licence has been disbanded with Northampton, Kettering & Corby depots now on the Midland Red (South) licence. To reflect this I have now merged the fleets in one (Click Here) This is correct to the official Stagecoach fleetlist dated 7/4/13. Bedford depot is now on the Cambus licence. Banbury is the odd depot because that is controlled by Oxford but I believe is still on the MR(S) licence
