A post online said that vehicles including Optare Solos and Versas, plus ADL Enviro200s, had been placed up for sale “priced for enthusiasts to purchase a vehicle for preservation from a company with 102 years of history" and that they were priced “for preservation not operators” with some vehicles “available costing three figures.”
Sounds a bit dodgy, surely if they could sell them to other operators, they would.
That gives me the impression that their vehicles are barely roadworthy to the point where another operator wouldn't touch them!
