Has anyone seen this SF08RRO - the photo in the link I posted has a reflection of a Wheelers bus in it, so possibly taken in their yard.?

I personally have never seen it. When searching on Flickr for SF08RRO there is no photos of it in Cityfox colours which proves it is just a photoshop of it in the wheelers yard

On this occasion SF08RRO has actually been painted in City Fox blue, never been in revenue earning service though. Just driven around Bristol

Oh right. Not much point of it being in their livery then if it's never worked in revenue earning service.

From what I was told in the Arriva Telford travel shop a lot of potential customers do ask if there is a bus to Cannock. And the 5 to Stafford via Newport is well used so there is some hope it does help that the new service may apparently run via Albrigton and Penkridge the customer base is there especially more so at Christmas it just need to be tapped into. And before everyone has a go most successful bus company's would of had to take a similar risk to get off the ground. If no one took risks nothing would ever happen. Who knows Chase Bus could become the next Midland Classic and I remember when they started running routes a lot of people were saying at the time they wouldn't have a chance against Arriva.

The postcode "S1 2NT " is in Sheffield according to google!

I still don't think that 19 digits is correct for a phone number of any description!

You might have a long wait for a bus to turn up

The Latin bits, that looks like sample content that comes with whatever backend software is powering the website, so I'd say the website is still under construction.

I wish Mr Fellows well in his bid to launch Chase Bus but at the same I have doubts that this will be a commercially viable or will be able to get off the ground, I hope it does as it will be nice to see Chase back around Cannock.

Do we have any information on who else is involved in this project because all I can see on the company check is two kids starting out in the big mean world of busses when it appears that both are merely enthusiasts.
