504 was the first of its type in the new livery though whilst it was out of service for repaint the time was not used to fix the Destination display which has been out of use for sometime !.

507 is an example of the latest livery as being applied to most of the modern but non low-floor fleet.

Mercedes 718 was part of a large fleet of Mercedes Minibuses that started life in London, It was one of a dozen that were transferred to First Mainline in South Yorkshire during early 2001. It is not known if it ever reached yorkshire as it was often seen around Leicester shortly after still wearing Capital Citybus Yellow livery. Then it disappeared only to reappear with Northampton, then in the summer of 2001 it came back to Leicester !

No.719 is one of a pair of Rare Marshall bodied Mercedes minibuses that came from Northampton at the end of 2001 where they were that companies only minibuses. The other one has the Pink Haze added to the livery.

Mercedes Mini 730 was the first of the little buses to gain "Barbie 2" livery and is seen here with a bewildered looking Driver.
