I got a nice surprise this afternoon, when I saw a fully loaded Astons DD on a school contract that I did not know about.
It was Pershore High School - Peopleton - Upton Snodsbury - Crowle.
- Lucky, lucky, children !
Astons appear to have only their 4 Scania DDs once-more, and I think these were a "very sound purchase" by Astons.
Double Decker Work.
Re: Double Decker Work.
Ah yes, that would be the PS07 contract. It has been run by Astons with a Decker for a few years now. Before that there used to be two separate contracts; PS07 for Crowle & PS09 for Peopleton. I guess they finally realized they could fit them all on on large bus rather than using two coaches with few pupils on board!
Re: Double Decker Work.
It appears that Astons have acquired another Scania DD from the same batch -- V302EAK, in a green livery. I saw it today on what I believe was the S49 in Worcester, but displaying PS07, which are both Astons contracts (unless that has just changed !)
I find this quite entertaining, as V311EAK was acquired when almost new, about 17 years ago, along with brand-new W475DAB, and two more were acquired a year or two before the Veolia takeover.
(Does anyone know if Astons have got a new base yet ?)

The livery would be that of the Holmeswood Group , looking at pictures on Flickr. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
