8/3/17: A non-DDA bus still lurks around and new videos!

Here in Northampton, a small company that operates bus services called Country Lion still has some non-DDA buses, specifically East Lancs Lolyne Dennis Trident buses. In a photo I have here, this is E7 CLN, which used to work in Brighton and Hove, and is operating the 11 to Parklands, a route that usually has double deckers on during the day, which would then work the 23 from Brackmills, where the Country Lion depot is.

As well as this, sister Lolyne Trident E6 CLN was swapped over for this on the 11 later on in the day, which is also non-DDA. E6 CLN is also Ex-Brighton and Hove. Here is a photo below for reference.

In addition, I also got videos of Ex London General Wright Gemini buses WVL88 & WVL89. These buses are now under the operation of Uno and are numbered 277 & 278 respectively. I captured them both working different segments of the service 19.

28/2/17: 15453 has been repainted!

Here is recently repainted Stagecoach Midland Red Scania Dennis Enviro 400 15453 is seen here at Northgate Bus Station, Northampton before leaving on the Monday-Friday only service X88 to Brackley. Before this, this bus had an all over advert for Homesense and was also painted into a special livery to celebrate 100 years of United Counties, which was first seen in 2012. This bus was new to Manchester in 2008, then moved to Kettering for the X4 in 2009, then to Northampton in 2012 when new Gold buses arrived for the X4.
