You can register buses at short notice if you are taking over a route which is being withdrawn by another operator.. The registration time was 56 days but apparently got upped to 72 (though registrations are being done with 56 days notice and not being done under short notice so I am unsure if the 72 days was a misprint).

Link is part owned by Fairbrother himself and not Fairbrothers the bus company. Fairbrothers and Link had good relations as the owners are good friends. Using each others buses was just a case of lending buses if there was a breakdown. It's a good way to be. Make friends rather than enemies. There was also the ticket acceptance (though day and week tickets had 4 different prices at the time of Fairbrothers collapse for the exact same ticket and same area)
