Possibly the last vehicle I will see in Bournemouth / Yellow Buses livery as they ceased trading on the 4th August 2022. The coach operation may carry on with National Express.

As far as I can see from wikipedia "The Big Lemon" they were founded in 2007 then in August 2020 partnered Seaford & District and called the company Brighton Horizon Coaches, Seaford & District was acquired by Big Lemon in January 2021 so I think a carrier shown as The Big Lemon founded 2007 should cover it and add in notes the vehicles with Brighton Horizons titles. I don't think they are anything to do with "Go Ahead"

Not sure Andrejs, These are Majestic (Hortons) and I think we only have 4 so far. Not to be confused with Majestic (Bluebird of Neath) and Majestic (Dealtop) which are all separate carriers and not related in any way Well

Reading the Wikipedia entry for this I reckon go with Scania OmniExpress as it says they were built by Lahden but would be known as "Scania OmniExpress" :-)

I did wonder Andrejs, I've been waiting for you to see this :-) There will be more in the 'new' Shearings livery but with many different operators. I guess we should group them together to find them more easily with operator in the notes? Do we start with a New Shearings group? I also see various operators using the National Holidays livery, perhaps a new group for these?

Maybe but it's a small group and part of Stagecoach so I think it should be left as it is? You could think the same way for "Greenline" from Arriva. We're increasing the number of carriers for the UK almost weekly but it's up to you ;-)

Have Redwing separated from Pullmanor, thought they were part of the same group also with Evan Evans?
Thanks. Info updated!

Good question, I see a lot of operators already carry Leger branding with their own branding whilst doing contracts for Leger Holidays so it may be confusing? Maybe wait and see how Leger brand the ex shearings coaches or if they change it at all?
 
The present Shearings/National Holiday could be closed as of May 2020 (I still have more of both to upload but no problem adding to them)

I'm going to guess Andrejs, my idea is that the bolts are protected from damage against the kerb or they are hidden to stop injury to passengers or pedestrians walking by?

Could be my fault Finlay, there is an option for 'Wright Pulsar Gemini' in the menu, perhaps I'm selecting the wrong one?

Hardly any passengers using them at the moment, it's not economical to run almost empty coaches, tough on the drivers who may be sent home :-(

I'm not sure this one (PO12 JNJ) carried the 4 JXX plate, if it did it was only briefly. I have seen photos of another Travellers Choice (Shaw) Jonck' twin axle which also carried the 4 JXX plate around 2014/15 original registration PN08 LAO just to confuse thing even more? :-)

Not good news Andrejs, did you try removing the battery and switch back on? Also some cameras have a shutter lock in the programs for sensor cleaning, did you select this by accident? Hope you get sorted soon, we need more photos :-)

Yes Andrejs, I do see a few more recently but I guess operators are waiting to see how they perform in the long term before committing to investing in more coaches especially as many established types are expected to perform for at least 20 years or more?
 
Да, Андрейс, я вижу некоторые из них в последнее время, но, полагаю, операторы ждут, чтобы увидеть, как они работают в долгосрочной перспективе, прежде чем вкладывать средства в большее количество, особенно учитывая, что многие известные типы будут работать в течение как минимум 20 лет или более?
