Yes, they acquired them from Oxford Bus Centre

Just looking on Oxford bus centres web site BV17GSY has covered 1,431,883 km, that's an average of 490 km for every day, wow that's some going.

Many of them have had engine and/or gearbox replacements that don't match the odometer readings - I spoke with the owner of GSZ a few days ago and he's extremely pleased with it as the interior/exterior and running gear are still in very good condition, and a better prospect of some used coaches of similar age.

Many Levantes cover similar mileages. The routes Edwards cover are virtually 24 hour services and the coaches are almost permanently on the road. It's similar with ones at Start Hill. Edwards Bristol depot probably couldn't fit every allocated vehicle in. Start Hill certainly can't fit every vehicle in if they were all there together

Seems nearly ever independent has an ex NX coach, that speaks volumes

Because of the high mileage they are normally cheaper than same age equivalent coaches, but the biggest selling point for operators wanting to do schools or rail replacement is the wheelchair lift making them fully PSVaR
