Word is the Lib Dems are having a go in Brinsworth and Catcliffe... Can now confirm this was indeed the case. Labour apparently only woke up to the threat last week - one week earlier than in Mosborough! |

Uttoxeter is still a pretty small town despite a fair bit of housebuilding recently. The population is around 13 to 14,000. A crap road to Alton Towers and the Midlands Grand National. |

I think one of the bus companies operating in my area use yellow buses, that is to say they've used yellow buses in recent history, but are now switching them out with vehicles with a white livery. |

Express Motors of Penygroes. Not aware of them switching from yellow/white though ... That's the firm. In the past I've seen them use yellow vehicles along the one route they operate in Conwy (that I know of), but recently it seems that they've got some new buses in, all of which are white (insofar as I can tell). |

A crap road to Alton Towers and the Midlands Grand National. Used to have interesting yellow buses. Yellow buses were never common in Britain - Newcastle, Bournemouth, ... er ... Quite a number of the Scottish Bus Group (SBG) franchises used yellow: Northern Scottish applied yellow on its buses, with a light cream band, until it was purchased by Stagecoach in 1991. Clydeside Scottish had a yellow and red livery (which was quite appalling, actually) following deregulation, while Lowland went for (attractive) yellow and green at the same time. Kelvin Scottish added yellow to its existing two-tone blue (essentially inherited from Midland) shortly after it was created in 1985. In England, SYPTE replaced its coffee and cream livery with yellow and red on certain 'Mainline' services in the 1980s. Badgerline of Bristol/Weston went with yellow and green. |

Currently no Lib Dems on either council? Wow. The Lib Dems won Burton ward at the last elections (and since 2007) but that is one of the vacant seats. Not sure how much was down to personal vote but I should have thought they'd be favourite to hold that ward in a couple of weeks |
