The article suggests a fire but one of the owner's relatives said it was a "Blown Turbo which caused smoke"

GVT have invested in a new Volvo 9700 - registration BL65VJG. I also believe they have added a "new" Solo (possibly the 7.8m variant) to the fleet

That's rather odd allocation, normally coaches.

How do you think it is in a bad state? I only rode it a few months back and it seemed fine to me, looked well maintained inside and I have to say it shifted quite well. About the only thing that seemed wrong with it to me was the destination screen. https://flic.kr/p/G7pd9N

To answer that it had rather tatty seats the led board wasnt working the driver didn't have a 470 piece so she put 473 wooler on also the back looks a disgrace.
Also im not sure coaches run the 470 id say from past occasions that yellow taxi thing appears upon the route

These are great little buses that never stop we have ran them for the last 4years and have only needed to be recovered 3 times don't think there is many company's that will be that reliable. The seats are clean and tidy and in damaged would like to know why you think they are tatty? Also why you thought the back end looked  a disgrace?

I agree glen valley offer a good service with a different range of vehicle from a 51 reg plaxton beaver to a 66 reg coach. yes certain buses could do with a freshen up however everyone need to think that they are lucky that the bus turns up and takes you place where they could stop the services and leave you abandoned where you may be.
