Halton Transport

[Raawwwrrr!]

RE: Halton Transport
Considering Stagecoach have tried to purchase the operations at least 6 times previously, it's highly irregular and to just sell up would indicate an essential part of the business has become problematic or an offer has been made that would be stupid to refuse, but why sell up a performing business?

Most if not all buses are DDA standard, all maintenance is in-house, The average fleet age is reasonable, They operate more services than ever previously in their history (including Schools).
The only apparent problems in recent years has been the impact of the fuel allowance, disability passes, currently the amount of drivers is low and any impact made by the plans to integrate the bus network into one.
