madannie77 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Anyone got any pics of the old Andrews fleet? all Fleetlines, one in particular i am trying to remember the reg for it was called "Genevieve" Andy OAG 760L was new to Duff of Ardrossan, one of the members of the A1 co-operative, as bus man stated earlier. I can recall her in the dark blue and white, but not in the later blue, yellow and white livery. A few more shots of more recent (in relative terms) Andrews buses: One of the many ex West midlands MCW fleetlines is "Little John" (NOC476R) A little less usual for Andrews was ex Cleveland Transit's Northern Counties bodied Fleetline "Nick Broughton" (LDC81P) And not every Andrews bus was a Fleetline. "Tinkerbell" (DET476V) was an ex Yorkshire Traction Leyland National Am I right in thinking that when Andrews started operating services in Sheffield they used some of the AEC Regents as wall as the older Fleetlines?
