The bus count is now out of date. There are 2 minibuses. 1x VW diesel and 1x Ford Transit electric converted

I count 14x electric buses, 4x Higers, 8x Solos, 2x Versas.

Driven them all. Woolvenk (talk) 22:27, 4 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

The diesel Minibus has now been debranded and awaiting the next stage. It will be going.

2x new Optares are lined up. Another unpainted Solo in Green and white on a 63 plate and an older diesel style electric converted bus on a **62 FZA plate. It uses the diesel rear axle and it is 95% electric like the 12 plates, 63 and 14 plates using a Wabasto heater.

This now brings the count of electric buses to 15x Electric, 1x Diesel to electric conversion (painted in white and with decals), and the Ford electric minibus also converted.

Still there are 3 remaining to paint. The recent Solos arrived on Friday 4th November.

I drive the services for them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Woolvenk (talkcontribs) 21:20, 6 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

This is the exact bus the company has acquired, the number plate is what is now in the yard, some markings have been removed. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3g-TXEBgGv0/U6c81XOpDzI/AAAAAAAAAUY/JK1rogiQIYE/s1600/ll.png

I forgot the 2x Versas are still there, but they are supposed to be reserved for the Metropolitan Stanley Deason College service. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Woolvenk (talkcontribs) 21:45, 6 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

The company now has 1x short wheelbase 58 plate diesel Optare Solo. Primarily for backup and not yet painted. It is white, blue and has some orange. Woolvenk (talk) 22:03, 11 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
The company will have 2x short wheel base diesel Optare Solos. Primarily for backup, but with buses out for repair, they will likely see active service in the upcoming weeks Woolvenk (talk) 21:22, 15 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
