Whittles

[Cedric]

do you know if there are any more replacements due ?

Nothing else at the moment. 9 vehicles is the optimum fleet strength. The 07 Gold Coach has now gone. It is highly unlikely that there would be vehicle transfers from Johnson's even though vehicles of both fleets appear at either depot for maintenance or body repairs. There is talk of one of the 08 midi coaches crossing to Kiddi now that Johnson's have taken delivery of their 3 brand new midi coaches ( 2 x 29  Merc  Unvi's & 1 x 19 Merc Sprinter) but no decision has been made.

I just happened to be walking along New Road, Water Orton this morning and look what came towards me!

YX07 HKM passed me today at Hodge Hill common travelling out of town at 13:45

So is YX15ZSO brand new then because when you search this registration on flickr, there are some photos of a coach with Logans with this registration. It has red seats on those photos but blue seats on the one that Whittles got.

The Whittles one was first taxed 10th June, so is new, either it was never delivered to Logans, or it has the incorrect registration plate on in the photo

Thanks Tony for confirming that. Its funny I can't find any info on the Logans one anywhere.

I believe the answer to this is that for some unknown reason Logan's rejected the original registration prior to delivery so their vehicles were re-registered by Plaxtons leaving YX15ZSO still available. I haven't any explanation as to why they didn't want this batch but they are definitely NOT the same vehicles.
Never heard of anything like this before!

Catch 22 had closed down a few weeks ago I thought.
