Flexibus (A and M Group) still use at least one on services 223/83 in Solihull (I seen one today) and if you look on Tony's fleetlist for A and M they have quite a few more but not sure what other routes they do. Hope this helps you :)

More operators are still using them than there should be. Stephensons of Easingwold had one without a wheelchair lift running round Malton carrying passengers last week; unless it was a free service of some kind they are asking for trouble given the DDA regulation for buses in this size category.

There was a suggestion by less informed people that reseating Varios with high-backed seats and removing standees would magically turn them into a coach and thus exempt them from the need to comply with DDA until 2020, which is incorrect. It is nowhere near that simple, and given that operators had nearly 15 years advance knowledge of DDA nor should it be.
