Merseypride

RE: Merseypride
If Merseypride have ceased trading, the only surprise is that they've lasted this long as the kind of publicity their accent led to would have been enough to kill most smaller operators.

In any case they had been called to explain themselves to Beverley Bell in the near future and the outcome to that would likely not have been pleasant.

Neoplan LIL9843 and Scania NIL8256 have departed to Hardwick's of Carlton, the former for scrap. It is expected NIL will survive, though unconfirmed. B183BLG, Setra K700 and MAN T35 are all available for sale. B183 is a terrific example, originality through and through. A vast quantity of teddybear moquette remain. If a buyer isn't found soon, sadly this will follow LIL and NIL.
