Ridleys currently have ADL Demonstrator YX19 ONU 'BooBee' on loan, and were using it on rail replacement work from Leamington Spa to Nuneaton yesterday.

Ridleys have recently acquired ex South Staffs Volvo B7TL SGZ 3538. It's on rail replacements today between Leamington Spa and Nuneaton.

Ridley's statement is pretty damning on Flixbus

Where can you access their statement to read it

A lot of operators, some long established, have acquired/leased new vehicles for Flixbus work. I guess finding enough work for coaches and drivers can be a challenge at the moment. Where do you draw the line ??

I guess the line is drawn if you don't get paid for services given.

I saw BV69 LPJ in Coventry earlier on the 020 service from London to Birmingham. Plain white with Ridleys legals on, so I'm guessing they're still operating until their contract ends.

Ridley's re-started Flixbus operations from Monday, I understand Ridley's & Flixbus have sorted out their differences

Given the facebook post, I think that Ridleys has a lot of making up to do as that could really hinder Flixbus' reputation and ability to expand.

Flixbus's reputation is self inflicted, a few operators have dropped Flixbus work including Thandi. Flixbus came back to Ridley's, as no other operator wanted to take on the former Ridley's routes.
