KX06LYJ Solo

I haven't seen the two Volkswagen LT minibuses in a while. Does anyone know if they are still in the fleet?

They're not exactly logical when it comes to repainting their fleet? Second time that a freshly repainted bus has been flogged.

Why do PCL purchase buses but after around a month in service they leave the fleet? I have lost count of how many Primos they have now.
It would be great to see the excel in the red and black livery, although the way PCL are going im sure it will be limited time only.

I have lost count of how many Primos they have now.Most of the buses which have been purchased are rather old and as a result end their lives at PCL. I think all of the Primo's (excluding the ex EYMS one which appears to be dead), believe the Centro, Solo and the Primo's are leased rather than bought which is presumably how they can have such a big turnover in Primo's and how they remain in dealer-stock white.

(23 Aug 2018, 6:48 pm)S830OFT Always wondered this, does anybody know what PCL stands for?
I could only think of Private Limited Company... Any ideas?
(23 Aug 2018, 8:06 pm)Charles41 It stands for Peter Cowell Leisure. PCL is not a limited company. It is a sole trader wholly owned by the Mr Cowell.

One of the Primos were involved in a bad crash a few months ago.
(25 Aug 2018, 11:53 am)S830OFT Was that the ex Travelsure one?

(23 Aug 2018, 2:46 pm)Jimmi Think Optare Excel Y249DRC is still part of the fleet and is being repainted into the black & red livery.

(27 Aug 2018, 6:48 pm)Cobalt271 Are you sure the Excel is still going? Someone told me the DVSA had issued it a PG9 some time ago.

(27 Aug 2018, 6:56 pm)Jimmi I could be wrong on that, saw some photos of the LDV Convoy for sale and a partially repainted bus next to it which although it isn't clear, it looked like the Excel.
Sorry, I should have made that speculation clearer.
I was at Hexham Bus Station yesterday and the 885 came in and it failed to stop at the stop like the timetable states. This isn’t the first time I have seen this happen. Just thinking what if someone is wanting to board it and are waiting inside the waiting room like some passengers do at Hexham until the bus comes in because the driver can’t be bothered to stop as they are supposed to do as all other buses stop regardless if passengers are wanting to board or alight.
