...I’ve still got a lot of blanks and pretty much given up all hope of identifying the “Dennis Sabre” (called “Blenheim” I think) that I used to see a lot of back around 1997/1998! :-) From PSV circle 1999. 96 GVJ 878 1983 Bedford YMP Plaxton DP45F (ex UWG882Y c.6/97 name "Blenheim") Thanks.

Move forward a year or so and he owned more low floor buses than FMR... Continuing the Bromyard theme - for a real challenge can anybody list all of Martin Perry’s fleet starting from 1 ending and 200 and whatever (including names)?

From the Newport-Bristol rail replacement, the third double decker to break down in the whole six weeks was this afternoon (a Gemini not a Streetdeck), ironically just after discussion that there'd been very few problems. No pressure on Worcester engineers to make the Tridents work then...

To be fair, very few of his buses get a new paint job from the one they came in - think one stayed mostly cream until he sold it, and all the other "new" ones were whatever colour Scania painted them in for loaning out before they got to him. Suspect this was brought from stock. Maybe in 5 years tim...
