Megabus and NX use 3rd party`s when they cant run services. MP travel use 2nd hand coaches on Megabus M11 at weekends they now have a new coach for this mind you but did start with 2nd hand. now they cant hire in coaches without being wheelchair accessible. On RR they need permit but this is till end of year and they have to be only used once they are 100% sure they cant find a wheelchair accessible. They are more likey now to just hire mini buses from taxi firms.

The mod for a wheelchair lift is not cheap.

has always been shortsighted for anyone over last few years to buy non wheelchair accessible.

Shearings/National Holidays missed a selling point by having coaches with lifts due to age of customers
