Looks like an admission that they are having a few problems with the bendis.

Have had reports today from a very reliable source (Omnibus Society North Western & Yorkshire Branch) that this company has ceased trading today. I'm sure there will be more details to follow.

Oh another operator (Classic Bus North West) where a tendering authority (Lancashire county Council) was a bit quick in cancelling some tenders then subsequently finding out that the company may have run into difficulties .

On Classic Bus North West's Red Rocket website it states Red Rocket will be suspended after 22 December until Easter 2014. http://www.redrocketexpress.co.uk

I'll have to see it return to believe it

Unfortunately the proprietor of Classic Bus North West is currently on holiday, which hardly makes the situation any better. I believe the 22 service may continue to run as this is on a separate licence of Oakwood Travel based in Liverpool.

The whole business is shady in my opinion. Its all under oakwood travel name trading as classicbus

Classic Bus North West was the operating arm of Lancastrian Transport Trust who owned a selection of Blackpool Trams. More details in the Blackpool Tramways thread but enthusiasts have been wary of them after selling one of Blackpool's famous Boat Cars to a museum in America after people had put money into the trams preservation.
