Is there a reason why the ticket machine is in an unusual place and there's no where to put the money for your ticket?

Think it's just the way the cabs laid out. I know their own hybrid Solos have no coin tray so you have to actually put the money in the drivers hand.

I wonder whether they have agreed to join HCT Group as another Community Transport group out of suspicion of Rotala being on the prowl for more Greater Manchester takeovers?

I doubt there will be any more notable independents here apart from Jim Stones Travel.
UK Coachways is a notable one

Probably too close to Diamond's on Atherton operation anway. The other possibilities are Stotts and M Travel although admittedly not as big in operations as MCT.

Guess if this happens they will trade as CT Bus like they do nearly everywhere else

I wonder whether they are ex-dealer or stock originally intended for lease? I doubted classic models were still being built as I thought all new builds were MMC by now.
