I'm hearing that the Perryman O-licences will be renamed Border Buses Ltd, but the Perryman's name is to be retained in the meantime.

I could imagine the current Perryman's ops at St Boswells will either be linked in to the current Hawick outstation or either the Hawick outstation moving into Galashiels or St Boswells.
Anyways, West Coast Motors have started procuring additional vehicles for the takeover, Such as Scania K230UB/Scania Omnilink YR14HLU, Which is currently operating out of Berwick for the meantime.

B9s cascade down to replace remaining Tridents in the fleet.

While two sisters (I didn't get chance to ID them - think one was 287) were on display at the open day - one open to the public and the other on the lifts. Meanwhile, 288 was inside the depot unregistered (see below)
