Apologies for such a long time between posts.

Two buses were towed away this morning. Our donor bus was the first to be loaded and taken away, then a 19 year old MPD (NC55 AWP). Both en route to the scrapyard.

We have already sourced a replacement, which is now with our local refurbishment and repair specialists being prepped.

Also in the workshop is Citaro HW07 CXU for a replacement n/s side mirror.

Regarding the new coach division, this has been placed to one side until a decision is made. Key factor is finding new premises as our current depot can only hold about 15 vehicles.

And here they are. Two second hand purchases from London & Country are these ALX400's, LC06 NHC & LC06 NHD.

These will eventually be converted to open top, like our GN04 UDP.

We have had to purchase another Dennis Dart MPD, which is going to be used for spares.

A small investment is planned for some fleet upgrades over the next few months. What we can tell you is that we have agreed a price on two used double deckers, which will be delivered by the end of the week.

Right - PG04 WHU has had its decals removed as this will be withdrawn, over the next coming weeks.

We are very pleased to announce that from 1st March 2022, a new coach division will commence operating.

More information will become available nearer the time.

Y435 NHK has now had its engine replaced with a refurbed engine while PG04 WHU is waiting on a replacement upper window after hitting a tree on Terminus Road after passing Brighton Station.

Latest and the last addition to the fleet for a while (due to space) is this former Brighton&Hove 642 Bristol VR, UFG 624S.

Now fully refurbished and ready for some special heritage runs on our service 77.

Final checks and number plates to add before entering service.

Another addition to the fleet is this Volvo B7TL/East Lancs Myllennium Vyking for our service 77.

Plans are still in place to purchase 3 ALX400's from London & Country.

Our friends at the refurbishment & repair centre has given us an update on HW07 CXT. Few minor jobs to go and should be with us over the weekend.

Next week it will join its sister HW07 CXU on the 52's.

Four solos are ready to go back to London & Country.

Our second citaro (HW07 CXT) which was also purchased from the same operator up north is seen here at a local refurbishment and repair specialist centre.

Hopefully she will be with us by near the end of next week.
