I seem to recall 5 of their vehicles with the air horns and the extra exterior lights transferred to D&G Bus and then less fancy Solos arrived when they won new tenders.

From what I recall they didn’t reduce anything they simply, some would say strangely, sold the vehicles they had bought new to D&G and replaced with older more normal solos. All the GM coach operators have dabbled on and off with tenders. Haytons, Selwyns, Ashalls and Goodwins. They seem to pick them up when coach work is quiet then want to wash their hands of them when things pick up.
I believe unlike previously Goodwins actually have set up the bus side properly this time with seperate managers/supervisors etc.
