Hmm I agree that is a surprise ! Maybe something to do with the Olympian being a high height example , just a thought
I thought that as it says in the description, but theyve also got full height S191 YOO (which has since been painted in fleet livery) and S129 RLE so makes you wonder!
S236YOO is owned by a separate company, Stagecarriage based near Redcar and not Tees Valley - I understand they're getting a/some ex Stagecoach Olympians hence S236 is now for sale.
ahh right, that makes more sense!
Wouldnt be Suprised if Mr C keeps these to replace the N-Reg Ollys
Mr Cherry may do as he usually does - transfer them all down to ensign, then get a good deal off them and buy a few
Like he did with the Dublin Volvo Olympians when he was sending them down!
Although if i remember rightly with S191/236 YOO, he got them on the cheap from ensign in exchange for olympian P493 MBY.
Lets wait and see, he has mentioned hes thinking of getting more newer buses before the summer

Though it is worth noting that the two companies have the same directors (Wayne Brown and Ian Peacock), with Mr Peacock being the TM for Tees Valley and Mr Brown being the TM for Stagecarriage. So should one lose their repute after the collapse of the Tees Valley business (which might not even happen - I'm talking hypothetically here) then it won't affect Stagecarriage from a TM point of view.
It looks as if Helms have cancelled the 41 from Chester to Whitchurch as of tomorrow, and re-registered it under Aintree Coachlines
