Seen a photo on Facebook showing some vehicles leaving here today, they were Enviro200's returning to the lease company.

It seems they have 24hr round the clock security on both premises as there's a security van parked across the gates of the compound with a gaurd in it.
Then there's a dog section van parked outside the main entrance to the depot.

Any idea when the outcome of the inquiry is published. Brian Stevenson was also summoned as well as the company, his appearance will have been required regardless of the status of the company.

I was told by an ex Halton driver that the hearing scheduled for last week has been put back by several weeks and that all the directors are supposed to attend. That means bus company and council people.

Just been posted on Facebook Former Halton 64, 65, 67, 69 and 70 seen in West Yorkshire, but not for long. Apparently they are to be sold on to another company

I'm not sure how many of those buses will see service elsewhere, scanias expensive on fuel and darts getting old.

Intrestingly it only lists the Scanias,Darts and Enviro200s up to 2007 no mention of the newer Enviro200s unless they have been sold already.
