(27 Nov 2016, 12:40 pm)It\s Jimmi Think they've been trying to sell these buses pretty much since they ceased operation of Nexus service 33 in July.

I did see one of the MCV Evolutions in use on Wednesday on a private hire.

Seems crazy that they were so reliant on one contrac for a sizeable proportion of their fleet

Wistfully stuck in the 90s

It appears that, after doing the 794, the bus heads to the Stanley Travel depot where it is stored overnight, presumably for positioning purposes for the morning 794.

It was just a loan due to one of the Stanley Travel deckers breaking down

Kingsley's have lost the 794 contract it will be taken over by Stanley Travel from 3 September 2017.
Some of the school service boards have a capacity within the scope of a single deck vehicle so the Versa is likely to be deployed on various school runs.
