There's no 'IF', it won't return to normal quicker than people think, passenger numbers are dire across the UK with lots of routes carrying fresh air & June is only just over 4 weeks away. Buses sat around doing nothing cost money for potential if, but's & maybe's, especially leased ones.

Diamond are more than happy to return the Enviro400's early, they're not overly taken with them.

Update:

All remaining First leased double deckers are now VOR by end of April & are being prepared to return to First by mid May inc the 4 B9TL / Gemini (27 more deckers withdrawn in total), that will just leave the leased First B7RLE/Wright fleet.

2 x TfGM Hybrid Optare Solo's (20901/2) have also been returned to TfGM 24th April.

Thanks for the update Winston, glad you’ve put the facts on point (and was hoping you would). Always too much speculation and ifs and buts going around on the many forums. ????
