Regarding flixbus and thandi I thought it was flixbus that got rid of thandi, not the other way round

Why would Flixbus go back to any company who had just treated them in such a way. Talk amongst the Flix drivers is that another operator was lined up to take over some of the routes. Are you sure that Ridleys aren't just working their notice period to avoid hefty fines for not fulfilling the contract?

While yes some operators have left Flixbus, some seem to be happy with it

I saw an ex-JH Coaches plaxton president still with the old gold livery, on rid12 and alcester grammar yesterday in the afternoon? Does anyone know the registration i couldnt quite make it out.

That explains the gold double decker unloading at Alcester Grammar School this morning that my grandson noticed. Unfortunately there was a high hedge between us and the vehicle so can't help with any details.

LR52 KWK is new here, saw it at the afternoon school run at alcester grammar, on i believe RID6. The only photos i can find are from its london days, so it has a single door conversion and a different paint.

Possibly "KXK" ??   LR52KWK was converted to an open top vehicle - bit chilly for travel today.  :wink:
