Seems like Hattons are genuinely struggling at this time I wonder how long it will be untill they focus on just the coaches.

I presume the 167 & 133 will probably be recontracted in September or April next year as some contracts from 4th September 2022 end this September
But seems Hattons are really struggling with busesv

No but it does not leave many disks spare for the Coach side

That's two weeks on the run they've had major service disruption on the 239 on the Wednesday, they've only had the contract a few months? Maybe they've over extended themselves here.
