I did chuckle when I saw that pop up, I will try and see them when I am next in Blackpool too - possibly Easter Saturday?
Blackpool Transport are also due to receive some new Mercedes Citaro's soon, it's alleged they will be used on service 5 including passenger announcements, leather seating, free WiFi and dedicated drivers - it is also alleged that they will have a customised livery too (info from Flyde Bus Blog) Must be due very soon as Blackpool Transport tweeted: coming soon to a bus stop near you yesterday

Jimmi, there's some good stuff to look out for in Blackpool. ClassicBus had an Alexander Royale, Alexander PS and Routemaster all out when I was last down there.
I didn't see the open topper or catch22bus Renown, but I did get that Alexander PS and the Royale on photo.
Catch22bus were running an SPD around last time I was there, but that's all I seen of them.

Back then they were trading as Oakwood Travel and not much was in the Catch22bus livery.
Sadly I won't be going on holiday to Blackpool this year which is a shame, we always used to stay at Marton Mere Holiday Camp using service 20 to head into Blackpool, over the years I got to ride Leyland Atlantian's and various forms of Olympian's it was brilliant!
Should hopefully get the odd days down in Blackpool and will hopefully get to head to Totally Transport for the first time this year.
