I think he still had an input but the main running of the buissness was by his 2 sons i think who as far as im aware of both have different veiws as to which way to take the buissness forward.
One wants to get rid of the bus side and just keep the coaches and the other wants to keep the bus side going.

Just seen what should have been the first 12 of the day at Morrisons displaying 79 Ravenhead (with scrolling points underneath). Is this an imminent route/number change. Quite ironic as the bus itself contained route branding for the 12 (although it also has branding for now withdrawn routes 140/141).

They are actually Merits, not Cadets. They do still have them. I'm not sure which one but seen one from a distance yesterday with Led as opposed to manual blinds. Not sure how recently this was done.

The LED blinds might explain why Ive not seen them Dart SN56 AXB had LEDs fitted a while ago too and btw I know they are Merits dont know why i said Cadet but for some reason one has a DAF badge on the front even though the Merits are supposed to be unbadged.
