Roselyn Coaches Enviro 300

My local operator, Roselyn of Par, have acquired an Enviro 300 I imagine for use on schools services. It is painted in their pale green colours and registered UFH277. Looking this plate up online reveals only pictures of an Alexander PS, which I guess carried the number before (there have been several in their fleet over the years). Anyone able to find out if the Enviro is one of 'ours'? I haven't managed to take a picture, but I'm sure I could see some First type colours around the drivers cab area.

ok - cos I was bored - I tried to work this one out!!

Roselyn's Facebook page shares a video of a news story about them in which a mechanic is seen working on a red double decker bus registration number V338 LGC.

A Google search for this bus initially brings up a red double decker bus at Go north east which started its life at London General. On closer inspection you find it was sold to First South West in around 2017 and became fleet number 32050 based at Camborne.

Clearly First have subsequently sold it to Roselyn so logic would have it that at the same time Roselyn were buying a double decker it's conservable they also bought a sing decker - but that's as far as I've got!!

Tried to get a photo today, but was not on depot. Lots of rail replacement on today so possibly in use for that, I'll try again tomorrow.
