Bennett is a fleet name used for the coaching side of Warrington Coachways.

Can anyone confirm if this is the case, and if so, which NX route is it allocated to?

It certainly looks to be the case:

Looks like they are slowly building up their fleet of single deckers again which can only be a good thing..

As far as I know, W482 is now elsewhere. W473 was on the 37/38 today, alongside newbie Plaxton Pointer 2 Y384 LCS (ex-Howard's Travel Group).

Sorry - made a mistake! Odgens have a Myllennium which I thought was ex-Warrington Coachways, but it's sister W472:

It has a Mercedes chassis, not a Volvo and isn't for NatEx work aparentely.

Not many Caetano Levantes escape NAt Express work from new but I recall The Kings Ferry have a couple.

It will be a financed vehicle not bought outright

RE: Warrington Coachways
I've often wondered is it 2 separate companies:

Bus Side=Warrington Coachways
Coach Side=Bennets Coaches

The thing I've noticed is that the coaches always seem to be well looked after whereas the buses its the absolute opposite

The question is if (and its a big if) they got their license took off them who would operate the 37/38s, personally I would think it a shame if they lost the 37/38s as when it does run properly they've got a good regular set of drivers on it, just a shame that at the moment it seems the vehicles are letting them down

RE: Warrington Coachways
so if 38/37 gets taken off Warrington Coachways Bennetts or one of the other licences can gain it
