Does fleet update include the remaining Olympian and the 2 remaining Van-Hool Coaches? Be a shame when they go as they've been in the fleet for a number of years now.

R341LGH and P924RYO will be staying for now The coaches are still with us Y311HUA is parked up awaiting the return of school residence trips Y312HUA is in use doing bits of private hire work

I assume more newer Buses are due into the fleet due to the emissions zone coming in soon

There’s a huge question mark over the CAZ at the moment. Andy Burnham has paused it for 2 months and will unveil a new plan in July.

I’m assuming bus companies will still upgrade their fleets anyway

I think the larger ops in Manchester have upgraded or retrofitted and are ready for it.
I believe a lot of the smaller ops who mainly do schools were waiting on specific news about exemptions of operating dedicated home to school services.

Update to Fleet list P924RYO has left the Fleet and sold to local bus dealer
RE: Finches of Wigan - M60lad - 04/10/2022 05:38
Was this the last non low floor bus in the fleet? Has anything replaced it?
RE: Finches of Wigan - Scania1996 - 04/10/2022 08:01
They still have one more Olympian (R341 LGH) as far as I'm aware
