I have noticed that. Are they trying to get rid or make them look like they have more sales than they actually should? So many little independants have suddenly got an MMC in their fleet. It is very peculiar. With everyone saying how hard it is trading in the bus industry, a lot of new buses seem to make their way into small companies fleets.

He's said no service work planned but you never know with him. The first anyone will know is if its in notices and proceedings

Rail replacement work must be booming then with both MP and Meridian having pretty impressive fleets considering that's all they do.
W13 MPT must be on loan to Howard's as it's being used on the 48 today.

MPTravel don't just do around the northwest. They've worked on rails and private hire across the whole country including just before Christmas being on the isle of wight for a week or so

I know few weeks ago on Hull. and the week was on Crewe to Chester on a late run for Tfw
MP68 BUS was running rail replacement services between Stockport and Chester this morning. Looked rather cosy on board - quite a bit smaller than the coach belonging to Vicky's Coach Tours which was running the service last week.
W21MPT dart has now left for scrap after having a blown engine
MP will work anywhere, any customer wishes to pay us operate. Thats just good customer service. The added bonus of a new motor is the back up service, which can be a lot better than if any thing goes wrong with say an old W reg dart.
