General Anderson, Ormskirk. ST 05 VWD has had a psv operator between Lex Vehicle Leasing, (YCH) and being obtained by Anderson. Can anyone help with who it was? It has been used in a psv capacity since it arrived. Bolton, Blackpool. PK 08 ODR was used in a npsv capacity from new, prior to licence grant, as it was personally seen with the fleetname Airport Travel UK, Blackpool in 2009. Bradshaw, St Annes. FJ 08 BYB was traded in part exchange for YJ 10 DSE in 5/10, but has been kept on loan for 6 months. Doherty, Upholland. PN 05 DZH has probably been operated on this licence since 8/08, when the original Le Route licence was revoked, through the Les McCall various licence refusals saga, until its transfer noted above. VIP Travel, Aughton. It is noted that as a condition of the licence Les McCall (who has had a number of licence applications refused) must not have any connections with the company, in any capacity. PN 05 DZH is/was owned by Les McCall!! I go into hospital at the end of October, so I will not be able to get out and about for the next month or so. Your reports are even more vital during this period.

As ever, thanks are also due to a number of people for their reports this month, including John Nye, Simon Blake, David Sykes, Richard Allen, Martin Haywood, Ron Maybray and all members of the BritishBus e-group.
