Honestly thought the ELCs from Halton wouldn’t see any further service due to the state they left them in with maintenance failures and all. Glad to know these are still about though, when they run they’re good buses

If you knew anything about them and their history you would understand why they have so many licences etc all trading from the same address.

I think they have an interesting fleet tbh. Probably had their fair share of issues but I just thought it'd be an interesting thread. Companies mentioned all appear to be linked to me and wasn't sure one of them was discontinued. Yes all Operations are based around Accrington and Blackburn.

They did at one point have a base (yard and shop) in Oldham, operated several TFGM tenders and hoped to make big inroads into the Manchester market but failed miserably. They ended up ceasing optarations, owing drivers unpaid wages and even appeared on an episode of ‘cant pay we’ll take it away’!
