Diamond Bus (North West) has twenty-five ADL Enviro200 MMC (9.5m - B34F), these are for Bee Network services. These are all now in service, having been introduced gradually since 21st December. 20625's fleetnumber seems strangely out of sequence and there is no 20604 so perhaps there has been a mix-up somewhere. EDIT: it appears there was a conflict on the system with a former 20604 so YX73 PLN was numbered 20625 instead.
20600 - YX73 PKY 20601 - YX73 PKZ 20602 - YX73 PLF 20603 - YX73 PLJ 20605 - YX73 PLO 20606 - YY73 OXP 20607 - YY73 OXR 20608 - YY73 OXS 20609 - YY73 OXT 20610 - YY73 OXU 20611 - YY73 OXV 20612 - YY73 OXW 20613 - YY73 OXZ 20614 - YY73 OYA 20615 - YY73 OYB 20616 - YY73 OYC 20617 - YY73 OYE 20618 - YY73 OYF 20619 - YY73 OYG 20620 - YY73 OYH 20621 - YY73 OYJ 20622 - YY73 OYK 20623 - YY73 OYL 20624 - YY73 OYM 20625 - YX73 PLN

Purple Parking of Southall have a few on off-Airport parking duties. PC Coaches of Lincoln has one, it is registered PC71 PCC and I believe it was originally a demonstrator. The majority of the PC Coaches fleet appears to be Scania coaches and older Scania buses.

In addition, Passenger Plus took 3 Fencers (YT23 BTX / BTY / BTZ) last year for a shuttle service for GSK at Brentford. I assume these are still in operation there. If so they can be seen around Ealing Broadway and Northfields during Mon-Fri peak hours.
The PC Coaches vehicle is indeed a pre-production ex-demonstrator; it was shown wearing the number SF21BUS but was never actually registered with that number. It is unique in being built on an older Scania chassis (K230UB I think).

SJ73 HVZ is the first of thirty Volvo 9700DD integral double-deck coaches for Stagecoach, they will operate Megabus and Scottish Citylink services in Scotland and North-East England. Numbered 50501, it has been seen on driver training duties in Glasgow.
A further 13 Volvo 9700DD will be used on limited stop services connecting Fife with Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh. These services are operated by high-capacity single-deck coaches but double-deck buses are being used on some journeys due to demand.

There has been a cock-up at Mellor or Mercedes with 2 vehicles on the road sporting the plate LV73ZPH, one for Moffat & Williamson and one at Richmonds Coaches. Both are Mellor Strata bodied Sprinters. The Richmonds bus is now registered LV73ZPF.
