Does anyone know the original reg of E200 'YUI 5568'?

Snapped it on the 62 in the week

Looking at Companies House, the directors appointment has been terminated on 12th Jan, and a new director appointed on 5th Jan.

The address for the new director though is the same address that is used for BM coaches and Balasubramaniam Balashuresh (the guy who was terminated as a director on 12th Jan)

Solus appear to have lost the Sunday 71/71A tender between Sutton Coldfield and Chelmsley Wood, with Stagecoach Midlands taking back over from this Sunday.

Solus appear to have lost the Sunday 71/71A tender between Sutton Coldfield and Chelmsley Wood, with Stagecoach Midlands taking back over from this Sunday.

The original contract went out for 105 weeks, until 01/11/25. I know that Solus were awarded on an Alternate basis, but it looks like they've chucked it in rather than the contract expiry. 

Can you confirm?

Stagecoach have been awarded a temporary contract from 3rd March until 24 March 2024 while the contract for the Sunday service goes out for emergency tender.  (Info on TfWM timetable page)

I would guess that either Solus have handed the contract back, or TfWM have stripped it from them.

i hear from a m8 of mine thats works here,  that Solus has been taken over again by another new arrangment of ownership as of 28th Feb.

The new tender refers to performance issues, so most likely TfWM stripped it from them

[solonightrider]

Heard on the grapevine that Solus are supposedly changing their trading name,  and today ive seen at least 3 solus vehicles stripped of all solus identity that was previously liveried up. Aparantly Paul Churchman has been a naughty boy [again] and has resigned as the director of Solus and all his other interests too

Been informed that Solus have handed back the 62 tender, with Stagecoach Midlands taking over from next week...
