I today noticed an ex - Lothian Dennis Trident (Plaxton V531 LSC or something very similar) operating for Kingsleys. No idea how long they have had it but I haven't seen it before just used to the ex Stagecoach ALX 400 Tridents.
I admire Kingsleys as you can see (for a small operator) how they have evolved and got newer buses for the school journeys etc (shame though I have a big soft spot for Metrobuses).
Speaking of the Metrobuses, do Kingsleys have any left and do they still have the ex GNE Deltas?

awhile back I would say as I have been up Kingsley's 3 or 4 times in the last year and I have never seen this in the depot

Probably use a Evolution to operate that.
(13 Feb 2014, 4:43 pm)Dan wrote They only have two Evolutions, both of which are currently used on scholars afaik.
106 is certainly still used on a daily basis, so I can't see why 104 wouldn't be anymore.
If anything, 182 would probably be used (providing allocations don't change).
