Latest Arrivals at RB

I haven't had much time to focus on the model fleet lately, and at the end of winter there ended up being something of a vehicle shortage going on; the distribution of some vehicles out to Grantham, the P&R only having 2 dedicated buses out of a required 5 and the (un)reliability of the aging double deckers meant allocating diagrams and having sufficient spare cover was, erm, fraught.

Still, unlike another local operator in a similar situation which we shall not mention, Robertson Buses is not averse to buying random second hand stuff to deal with this kind of issue... although that doesn't exactly mean much when almost the entire fleet is random second hand stuff. Due to me not having much time to dedicate to the fleet, and the fact these buses needed to be in service ASAP, they're keeping their existing liveries for now. It's a lot of red for a fleet that's supposed to be green coloured!

Also, no, RB isn't expanding operations into Swadlincote and Uttoxeter, those Presidents are ex-Reliance of Staffordshire and need the destinations changing out.
