Only if Whittles need any extra coaches, but I would think Johnsons would want both fleets to be of the same standard that everyone looks to with Johnsons.

Does anyone know what became of the two Merc O405Ns owned by Whittles, last time I saw one was mid-2013 and I remember one caught fire in Hagley. Were they scrapped or sold on for further use, I suspect the former as I cannot find anything on the internet later than mid-2013, it seems they just disappeared.

Scrapped as far as I know

At least one (429 I think) spent a very long time VOR in the Whittle depot, but was gone by the end of 2014.

Not 100% correct. The fleet isn't increasing as the new Plaxton is a replacement for the 07 Gold Coach which will leave the fleet in part exc. sadly not enough work for this specialist vehicle so she has to go but at least the 15 plate is a full exec vehicle which fits the fleet profile better.

Has the 07 Gold Coach gone yet or is it still there?

I thought is was to go when the new one came... But the 15 plate actually arrived a day early so it might still be there... Haven't been on site today
