Since the leyland lynx’s were the updated version of the nationals, the nationals outlasted the lynx’s, didn’t Redby had some second hand mark 2 lynx’s?.

I wonder if Busways and Cleveland transit would of ever bought lynx’s if TWOC and Teeside motor services (TMS) didn’t start up and ran competition routes.

Aye those! 

Yeah I'm sure Redby had 2 mark 2 lynx's that later transferred to GNE, as did a few mark 1s. They were often used on the X2.

I think the likes of TWOC and Teeside Motor Services were operating before the lynx's came on the scene. Not sure what year they started but I would guess the 80s maybe? Really not sure. What I will say is it would be interesting if there were more competitors to take on the big bus companies today as there were back then. I bet the big companies would have no trouble finding money for buses and routes if that was the case!
