Travel de Courcey -- General Thread

Irishbofin holdings seem fairly stable though, not sure whose assets are whose though apart from cov depot.

It's most likely only a holding company. My comments were based on analysis of DeCourcey's business by a potential buyer prior to adminstration.

Decourcey staff are under the impression the Miller St coach depot is owned by NX & only leased to Decourcey

That is (or was) a very nice bus to drive. The only Trident I've ever driven! Not 100% sure but I think they're like NXWM 4565-84 drivetrain wise.

Yep same 4 speed Voith gearboxes as in 4565-4584. I'm sure said batch were a cancelled Stagecoach order which is why they received Voiths when NX were buying them with ZFs at the time. If anyone knows where they were intended for within Stagecoach, that would be nice to know?

The 03 reg buses were delivered to Bow for the OPO conversion of route 15 seventeen years ago this weekend. The 52 reg bus was delivered to Catford and is shorter than the other three by virtue of having no short window.

I think he is referring to NXWM 4565-4584, as they were originally built for Stagecoach. It'll probably be difficult to find out where they were intended for though.
