Latest acquisition in Manchester confirmed this morning

https://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/market-news/market-news-detail/ROL/14126167.html

Interesting to note that Rotala are expecting the Cap Ex to replace the 125 leased First buses over a two year period to be £26 million i.e. £208k average / per bus.

The rumour is that First will retain Oldham and run it with the neighbouring West Yorkshire business.
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

Rotala are apparently  only acquiring the commercial work. Tendered services, including Vantage, are not included.

You wouldn't want to take on the Vantage contract on the terms that First agreed.

Based on that figure I suspect the majority of replacement buses will be deckers?

Assuming the passenger numbers still justify deckers, I'd expect so.

I'm guessing here, but as the Enviro double deckers and E300's are not that old, they'll be staying put. I would also guess that the Volvo single deckers will be leased and possibly the Volvo double deckers, bar the Vantage vehicles.

As Manchester are going Euro 6 as well soon, I suspect the 125 leased vehicles will include all the E400's / B9TL's etc which will return to First and be cascaded around the group. Rotala now prefer to buy new brand Micro Hybrids as opposed to upgrading existing vehicles to meet Euro 6 as per NX.

The E300's are based at Oldham.

Trading Statement from this morning:

This is really pleasing to read - in the current economic climate and the collapse of Halton Transport (for various reasons), it's great to see a operator with a clear strategy expanding and making a profit. Excellent work by @Simon Dunn and the Rotala team again.
Autofare 3 - the ticket that laughs in the face of contactless!
