You can legally run a free service with or without O-discs (Similar to how running days do this) but only require them legally to run a route where fares are collected.

It would make sense if for example Stagecoach helped out with the 44 for example or another service, but not the Stockport Metroshuttle

MCT are not running the service for free, they are getting paid to run it! Therefore it is an operation which requires an O-licence.

These O-discs are they the second disc under what used to be the tax disc on a bus?

Advertising a full side on a bus is much more expensive to the framed adverts as you can imagine. The bigger the advert, the more expensive it is.

Cost depends on the following factors: Vehicle type (A single decker is cheaper than a double), Advert Size (Is your advert using one side of the bus? or all four?), Advert type (Are you covering up windows? are you just advertising around them?), and the main factor: How long do you want your advert on the side of a vehicle (or vehicles?).

Advertising on buses also depends on the area. If you're advertising on a bus in rural Yorkshire, it's much cheaper to do than in a big city. As you can probably imagine as well, a bus in Manchester or London will be seen more and also will probably have a longer service day on the road.

If you are making an advert with a company (for example the Deepwater Horizon). If you just advertise on one bus, for example stagecoach Manchester's enviro 400 is will be £X. However, if you use the same advert designed by the same advertising or design agency across the UK, cost's will be cheaper per vehicle, but obviously more expensive per the amount of buses used. (A bit like how a 2L bottle of coke is usually cheaper than buying four 500ml bottles)

Cheers Raawwwrrr! I guess it was probably a very difficult question to answer.

Saw the back end of SF08GPK [22587?] in the lower garage at Daw Bank this afternoon behind two other similar buses[which may be 22582 and 22583-ex Ardrossan?] . Anybody know whether they are staying or passing through?

RE: Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan
Staying. The ex-Cambridge 51 regs getting binned; though whether directly replaced or via a cascade remains to be seen.

16971 has (for now) escaped the call of T. Wigleys, and has transferred to Lincoln where it looks like it will essentially replace 16901 which has been withdrawn for spares.
