Just to confirm, the 52 reg Coach is MK52 YCP and has been used on Rail Replacements around Liverpool

Looks like Ellenbrook and NIX Coaches are in front of the TC:

I'm really really not surprised. This guy shouldn't be allowed any part in the industry let alone running a coach company after his fall down with jpt.

Both his full time drivers have recently walked out finding Work elsewhere after months of being drop fed wages and on some occasions were forced to pay for fuel themselves to get back to Manchester.

A post on Facebook today by one of his very angry customers suggested the owner yesterday pulled the plug on the company less than a day before the PI into both his companies.
The post suggested he's continued to take bookings and deposits for work and has now stopped answering calls or replying to messages.
Not sure what's happened with the school service he operated.

His ex GHA B10 has been parked on a street in Middleton every night for the past couple of weeks, albeit moving places now and again. Presumably hes pulled out of his storage location and thes is staying at the drivers home when not running the school

He's still got 4 coaches and 1 single decker bus at this yard

He doesn't have any drivers. All walked out weeks ago as he stopped paying them. His dad apparently drove the B10 on the school contract but not sure whether it's still being run or not but the post I saw on Facebook suggested he's shut up shop.

I've been told by a coach operator that all the vehicles are for sale on eBay

Yes apparently he tried to flog the business 'with bookings' on Facebook earlier this week calling it 'Walsh's executive travel'. No mention of him running the company on licences with completely different names or the upcoming date with the TC - be interesting to know how that went.

After searching under the "bus operator" section of the traffic commissioners website, its confirmed that ellenbrook travel and nix coaches have both had their licences revoked
