It's been running through Birch Green at the same time as a "2 Kool 4 Skool" school service runs through recently, so I'll presume that it belongs to them!

Very strange indeed - considering the latest Stagecoach North East fleetcards list it as being sold to Hardwicks for scrap.

They do a single run on Rainford schools too usually using a Merc minibus featuring a somewhat tacky graphic of 'Otto' from The Simpsons toward the rear.

Presumably bought from Hardwicks scrapyard then, they often sell buses for further service that are able to do such work.
