Agreement to acquire the above was reached prior to this mornings news of Yourbus ceasing trading, they are expected to eventually be allocated to DBNW @ Bolton. A quantity (circa 6) are being picked up and going to Tividale, WM today, none are due to go to Bolton yet.

I assume these will free up more B7RLEs to go back to First

Possibly, but they haven't even arrived at Rotala yet.

Plus there's also the 11 x Enviro400's to be returned to First Group at the end of Dec, depends on what happens at Wrightbus.

As Preston Bus has been granted authorisation to operate 50 vehicles from the Heanor bus depot, the same operating centre as Yourbus. I see something going on next week. maybe even stepping in for school services

No.

Quote from Simon Dunn:

Rotala looked at acquiring YourBus through its Preston Bus Ltd subsidiary, and hence why there was an additional operating centre added.

In the end we couldn't agree a deal.

Thank you for this information

I'm fairly sure that 31401, which was previously with another failed East Midlands operator (Premiere of Nottingham) was being used as a driver trainer when I was at Heanor in April this year.
