Midland Red North Volvo Citybus B10M/Northern Counties
From pillar to post! Perhaps it is no surprise that Arriva has adopted a standard colour scheme, this B10M Citybus/Northern Counties doubledecker has moved up and down the country in the 9 years to when this picture was taken around 2000, from London & Country to Bee Line Buzz in Manchester and now Midland Red North, it is seen in Birmingham City Centre.
 
Former L&C 638 has also had a checkered history. Seen here at work for Redline in Aylesbury on school runs in summer 2006, the Citybus had seen service with Londonlinks, Kentish bus, Arriva Kent Thameside, Arriva Kent & Sussex, Arriva Medway Towns and in 2004 Arriva Yorkshire West. It passed to Redline the following year.
 
Next in line was Citybus/East Lancs 648 (H648GPF) and it has ended up in the Midlands too, with Guide Friday at Stratford on Avon in City Sightseeing livery, seen in Stratford in summer 2004.

Citybus/East Lancs 618 (G618BPH) appeared with an unidentified owner at North Weald in 2007 with RT1784. It had last seen service with Arriva Yorkshire.
 
Citybus/East Lancs 620 (G620BPH) seen in July 2006 on school work at the Grange Coach Park in Aylesbury in service with Red Kite Commercial Services of Tilsworth. It too had last seen service with Arriva Yorkshire.
