In 2008 East Lancs was in financial difficulties and ultimately merged with Optare. That uncertainty, coupled with the availability of integral Scania deckers from Poland no doubt resulted in the arrival of 701-731 in 2009. This is 706 (YP58UGF) seen in the town centre in June 2010 with open topper 618 behind. |
Seen just over three years later is sister vehicle 715 (YP09HWB). Many of this batch has been cascaded to associated fleet, Metrobus. |
Seen back in June 2010 on route 7, but with route branding for the 5, is Scania CN270UD 722 (YP09HWJ).
