99% certain they won't do it on a big scale as they have SORN and delicenced buses with higher running costs to reduce running costs. Only the most reliable and fuel efficient buses are running. Why would you then revolve that?

There could be a few buses which revolve if something major like a crash or major engineering issue happens but it would be exceptional circumstances.

First time in years now too that every service bus at Gillmoss is in beachball livery. Nothing in service is in any overall advert, branding or any other livery.

I would say he meant the earlier mmc's where running cost would be similar. So in that case it made sense,.

Various SORN buses have been pulled out from where they were parked today, mainly 105xx deckers.

Not checked them all but at least 10534 VKB708 & 10536 SN16ONA are taxed now, I would expect all the 105xx will probably be taxed and back on the road again shortly.

Is it true that from tomorrow all services from Gillmoss will be mainly operated by double deckers for the first time in ages with virtually not many or no single decks out in service at all?
