Keeping them in service maybe partly sentimental as they've been there that long. I'm surprised a couple of the Olympians weren't kept to allow the Scanias to be retired.
The Olympians although heavily refurbished after they were acquired were in a poorer state than the Scanias. Don't forget the scanias had come from a municipal operator and municipal were renowned for really looking after vehicles bought from new so when the scanias were acquired from Cardiff in 99/2000 they were practically like new buses. The fact they have served Stotts for 17 years says it all.
A lot of the withdrawn stuff is slowly canablised on site to allow repairs to other vehicles and parts havs been sold to other operators who run similar vehicles.

£59,000 seems pretty bad for a small firm, and who pays for the 500 mile round trip(s) to Brighton?

According to a document on Companies House the business had £478,000 in a 'retirement benefit scheme', so why weren't they using it?

Yeah but not bad considering the judge could do an unlimited fine. Would have been better lower though

I saw a 57-reg Solo on route 364 this afternoon. This surprised me as it had been Enviro 200 even on Saturdays in recent years.
RE: Stotts of Oldham - Metroline1511 - 24/02/2018 20:37
The 364 this afternoon was an Enviro 200 again, namely MX10DXD.
