<snip> On 2nd May, Transdev will be putting its 23 new 21-registration Mellor Strata Ultra 30-seaters into service on its new East Lancashire routes. Eighteen are for the new "Ribble Country" network based on Burnley, Pendle and the Ribble Valley, whilst five will be used on a new route between Preston and Leyland via Higher Walton and Bamber Bridge. The routes are to be operated in partnership with Lancashire County Council. The registrations for the Mellor Strata Ultra midibuses are as follows - surprisingly, given the manufacturer and operator are both located in the pre-1974 County of Lancashire, they have West Country registrations! For "Ribble Country" services (orange/cream livery) 61 - WP21 FGM 62 - WP21 FGN 63 - WP21 FGO 64 - WP21 FGU 65 - WP21 FGV 66 - WP21 FGX 67 - WP21 FGZ 68 - WP21 FHA 69 - WP21 FHB 70 - WP21 FHC 71 - WP21 FHD 72 - WP21 FHE 73 - WP21 FLJ 74 - WP21 FLK 75 - WP21 FLL 76 - WP21 FVF 77 - WP21 FVG 78 - WP21 FVH www.transdevbus.co.uk/burnley/welcome-ribble-country-more-buses-and-better-buses-ribble-valleyFor "Little Hotline 153" (this service was renumbered from 113 and is co-ordinated with "Hotline 152" between Preston and Higher Walton - purple livery) 79 - WP21 FVJ 80 - WP21 FVK 81 - WP21 LTU 82 - WP21 LTV 83 - WP21 NFM www.transdevbus.co.uk/blackburn/give-big-warm-welcome-your-brand-new-buses-say-hello-little-hotline

Not sure if it is recorded elsewhere but the registrations for Go-Ahead's Me1-17 (Switch Mobility Metrodecker EV for route 200 will be as follows (Me1 & 2 have already been delivered). Me1 - YJ21 EYA Me2 - YJ21 EYB Me3 - YJ21 EYC Me4 - YJ21 EYD Me5 - YJ21 EYF Me6 - YJ21 EYG Me7 - YJ21 EYH Me8 - YJ21 EYK Me9 - YJ21 EYL Me10 - YJ21 EYM Me11 - YJ21 EYO Me12 - YJ21 EYP Me13 - YJ21 EYR Me14 - YJ21 EYT Me15 - YJ21 EYU Me16 - YJ21 EYV Me17 - YJ21 EYW Apologies if this has been asked and answered already, but, is "Switch Mobility" just an internal name, with "Optare" just being used as branding? They haven't changed it on the Me's or TT's OE's, by the looks of it.

A batch of 10.6m Wrightbus StreetDeck MH3 (H45/29F) is being delivered to Diamond Bus North West (Rotala). The first four are at Preston Bus: 40805 - BX21 DFC 40806 - BX21 DFD 40807 - BX21 DFE 40808 - BX21 DFF <snip> Here's a nice touch - 40808 has appeared with route branding for the 23, the branding includes key years in the history of the route and is a reminder that Preston's buses once had route letters rather than numbers (the 23 was originally the PL).
