They maybe on lease but its the public perception that these are new vehicles that means a lot particulary to a small independent company , these days more small firms are going into leasing vehicles usually to fulfil contracted work more than commercial work .

The last time I was in Carlisle, was about 3 or 4 years ago!
At the time Stagecoach was operating a fleet of 05-reg'd Darts, and there were no competion! The newest stagecoach bus, I saw in Carlisle yesterday, was a 51-reg'd Solo (47022).
