CURRENT FLEET - MARCHANT OF CHELTENHAM

Last Updated : January 13th 2007 (photo of RUA452W updated)

The VRs shown on this page were in service with Marchant on the date shown above. The liveries depicted are the last known to be carried by the individual vehicles. If you know that the livery has now changed I would appreciate receiving an email or, better still, a photo which I will add to this page and credit to you. Remember - the site is only as good as the information I receive.
