As you'd expect, if Ensign offered more money than a local operator who was interested in the vehicle, Ensign would probably get it.
Indeed, for example the last round of Olympians to go (P-SGPs/R-LGHs) mostly stayed local, with Stagecarriage, Nightingale, Weardale and Stanley all getting some. Others ended up with dealers elsewhere.
