VIP

[PM]

Thanks for posting the photos Tony!

Good job no one was sat either in the courier seat or stood on the pavement and mown down.

Do they still have a few coaches on private hires etc then?

Yes, those traffic lights lying horizontal instead of the usual vertical belong to a pedestrain Crossing, so good job no-one was waiting to cross there. I think VOSA restricted him to 5 vehicles

But more than that are still owned? I don't imagine you get sent a regular up-to-date fleetlist though...

Which was six too many....

Well presumably IF the crash is found to be down to a defective vehicle being used/poor maintenance then I imagine VOSA could further restrict the license or revoke it altogether.

I've seen drivers all over the place; 1 on sunny Travel, WMSNT, Green Bus, Decoucey (NX) etc.

Does anyone know what happened to/where the darts that VIP owned have gone?

Stafford bus centre sold then on to someone else

Did they make sure each bus had the correct reg plate?

Does anyone know what the fleet list for VIP was. I have looked on the main site under previous operators but @Tony does not seem to have made a fleet list for VIP. Thank you.

@Stu - Thank you very much. Much appreciated. I did not see that fleet list as i was looking in the "ceased operators" section instead.

They are not 'ceased' - they may have stopped running public bus services, but they are still doing private and contract hires.

@Stu - Thanks for the info. I did not realise that they still did private hire and private contract services. So do they still have any of their buses or do they now only have coaches.
