It's the same as a Cadet or Volvo Merit (for companies ashamed of buying off Arriva), you might have been on one of them before.

Thanks, that gives me a good idea of what it is as I have been on many Wright Cadets over the years.

Believe 1923 did make it out for a run or so on the 1 in the morning, think it was replaced by 7532.

Noticed a Plaxton Centro on Walkergate this Monday afternoon. Guessing it must be the much-travelled 1923. A panel was missing on the front under the windscreen - hope it is still a runner and not on its way to Alpha, Weetslade.

Finally managed to get binoculars on the Centro at Walkergate recently. Turns out it is 1536. Could be a source of spares for Pulsars, I suppose, or a mess room for Arriva staff ?
