I recall people saying one reason Go Goodwins branded the bus operation differently was due to bus services working to the disadvantage of the coach hire part. Howards don't seem to know which name to use - some vehicles say Howards, others say Springfield, some say both while bus service registrations have been under both the Ian Howard licence and the Springfield Bus & Coach licence. It's a bit like GHA and Vale Travel in some respects.

The B52 is a 1/4 mill contract so regardless of how good the coach work is, there is a big co tract backing then up. Could it be with the omegas site expanding so rapidly, they need more buses around 8-9am to cover the B52 contract?
