From what I have seen they used to have an Enviro 400 that had the name "Charlotte" on the front, does anyone know more about it and where it went? Sold, written off, hidden up at Wigan with the others?

Edit: I've been doing some more searching and they had another Enviro 300 (453) but I can't quite make out the name of it.

I think they were sold to raise money to fix short term finance problems. The Enviro 400 was the companies pride and joy so getting rid of it was certainly a sign of the times - I think at the time JPT claimed via thier Facebook page that newer Enviro's were on order but like many claims by the company it never happened.

Incidentally the Enviro was Apparently de-roofed outside the depot. It wasn't bought directly by First from JPT I seem remember a number of vehicles from
JPT being sold via Ensign.
