I really thought they was past this.. If i remember correctly they was going to get their Licence revoked at the start of the year but managed to avoid it.

EDIT: Was a bit longer ago than i thought but their licence was down to get revoked Summer 2015 but never did http://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/news/t...-1-7373323

I always thought there was meant to be an inquirey into the connection between Catch 22 or Oakwood travel and the previous company Classic bus North west. They appealed it claiming the TC had something against them so the outcome was it would be reviewed by another TC.

The words 'we've signed a deal' suggests they have been leased or rented rather than bought outright but I'm sure these Versa's have been for sale on eBay for a while.

It will be interesting to see what the outcome finally is.

Very true but the fact they claim to have invested £150,000 in order to acquire them would suggest they may have been purchased as apposed to leased. £150 or so grand seems just about right for them. What I mean is £150,000 spent on a lease wouldn't make much sense when you could buy these or similar vehicles for the same price.

£150,000 could be the overall value I find it hard to believe that after all the cheap second hand sheds that have been acquired and used in various liveries carrying fresh air along the front that they would suddenly invest that kind of money in 3 buses, espically with another PI pending that could finish them off once and for all.

With the P.I pending and being at the courts in london it looks like traffic commissioners office is trying to finish them up once and for all even though personally i thought they had started doing a pretty decent job recently.
