I visited Harrogate back in January, and did the full 771 on that exact Renown. One of my favourite buses! Here's my photo of it in Wetherby -
I also visited back in November, on my birthday, and rode on 1845 from Harrogate to Keighley, which is another contender :tongueout: -

Transdev sure have the best Renowns I've ever been on! However I don't think they're going to be around for much longer as Transdev said on Twitter that the 770/771 fleet are to be upgraded at some point this year :( (I've lost the tweet though, but I do remember reading it). I've also noticed that they've begun to put the Versas on the 770, not sure if they are the 'upgraded fleet' or whatever, but they run alongside the Renowns, for now at least...

M214 VSX is my favorite older vehicle in which it has taken me to and from school for 3 years now and hardly ever is late whereas the newer vehicles that we have now has broken down twice this week so far.

For newer buses it would be a mixture Scandia's, Volvo's and Enviro's really.
 
My favourite bus always has and always will be N531DWM a Dennis Dart SLF 10.1M Plaxton Pointer I which was the 7th SLF Dart built in total excluding the first two prototypes otherwise the 9th SLF Dart built (10109) new to MTL North in April 1996 as there 7531(T) at their Lancashire Travel division before moving to Birkenhead and then after Arrivas purchase of MTL North it remained as 7531 and moved to Runcorn and then to Arriva Buses Wales at Rhyl, Llandudno and Wrexham were it finished its life in 2011.

Notts+Derby also have N94UD's from Nottingham City Transport. I believe they have the 03 reg Turquoise line ones.

(pic's sniped)

There are more pics. I won't spam this thread ;)
Yes they do have ex NCT ones but they are not allocated to the route I get so I can't say anything about them.

Erm, excuse me :tongueout: They were from Metrobus Croydon to be precise, and were some of the finest buses we ever had. Much better than the G3's we have now.
Unfortunately I don't know London buses to well. I also suspect the maintenance have gone down hill as well as another company has priority in the same garage.

I love RM and RT buses :)
I also like the Caetano Levante as it's my standard vehicle for the journey from Stansted to Baker Street when I'm in London :)
Volvo B9R mate. The cateano Levante is a fictional coach. EDIT: Just done research and found out it is indeed real, sorry guys!
