Been seeing a Clarkes coach in Banbury bus station the past couple of mornings, either displaying "National Express" or "Private contract" on the blinds. Keep forgetting to ID it, but mostly posting to see if anyone knows any gen why it's suddenly started coming?

Hearing that NX have aquired the former Arriva Midlands South Wigston depot which was vacated by them in October 2021 for the woods operations with work starting already to move from their base on nearby Gloucester Crescent.

Tourismos seem to be NX's favoured coach option. 

Any idea if any other subsidiaries have new coaches on order?

It will be interesting to see what happens with the former Yellow Buses depot, it's a big site.

SH205 & SH208 were both last at Woods.

Clarke would make more sense to be honest as they came through the manager of the Southeast  Region.
