Has today been purchased by Rotala PLC for £1.95 Million

I thought if they'd sell up, they'd be asking the Sunny and DTS guys if they wanted it.

Nobody will pay that amount. The buses probably amount to only £20k in value combined.

What Sunny/DTS guys??  It's all to go in the same pot!

Successful Business is also a debateable topic...

Mutiny on the Buses as one of the 'Solo Saviours' drops out of the running of preserving T313 UOX Who ever said preserving Buses was easy...

PD0001888/16 Cancelled
COASTAL LINER LTD
Route: Essington to Bloxwich
Service number: 16
Service type: Normal Stopping
Effective date: 31 Mar 2018

There last public bus service will be withdrawn from Saturday 31st March 2018.

Do they do anything else other than the occasional rail replacement, could this be the end of them? Its been said you don't often see there coaches anywhere but in there yard.

They were doing a Contract to the Rodbaston Campus of South Staffordshire College but I'm not sure if this still operates.

I agree be interesting to see what happens between now and then to see what, Sunny, DTS and RK Travel do.
Social won't have any problems as they don't enter Solihull Town Centre and only operate the 11C.

Having not being privvy to the full details of this SQPS so I'm not sure, however would RK Travel and Discount Travel Solutions not be exempt based on that their frequencies are irregular and not every 30 mins or more.

If it is such case, you will probably find Sunny Travel reducing their frequency accordingly...

I think you will find all operators are committed to it. With additional areas getting AQPS rules, Solihull is next, there won't be anywhere for people to use polluting buses soon

Maybe, but still doesn't stop knackered old vehicles being used, and they come from the 'dominant operator' !

Operators bid for the contract, highest bidder wins.

😂 If only!

Looking at these pictures from today, there seems to be a distinct lack of the 65 plate Streetites on the 57/58 these days, with a WF Streetlite / Signature Solo & B7L appearing

Normally over Solihull and Coventry because the rest of the fleet generally can't make it that far!

4226 - 7

Of what is probably less noteworthy is the SQPS Breach, of which there really is no excuse for on a Sunday...

One National Express Bus seemingly took the wrong way on Rail Replacement this morning and ended up somewhat stuck, very stuck!
