I'm pretty certain it was just a trading name of Ellenbrook. The actual application for the Eurobus licence was refused which is why the Ellenbrook licence was acquired. Once he lost a load of tenders on the main JPT licence the Eurobus fleetnames suddenly disapeared.

However, the bus quoted is much too old for any TFGM contract, and I'm not sure the coach would be allowed under the new DDA rules. It must be a commercial service.

You've got to admit though it is a farce. I understand that the cheapest option is the one they go for to protect tax payers money but when you look at the huge headache that was created at the feet of the same director surly it's a lot more sensible to 'avoid at all costs'

It's UK North/GM buses all over again!

If they are using the Endurance on the School it would have to be a closed door contract with the School as its not DDA compliant and closed door contracts dont require DDA Buses unless its written into contract

Is he still doing the private school contract? Would have thought the single decker would have been for that.

The single decker hasn't been there long and I don't think its seen service with him. I think he's done some work to it and selling on

Buys bus..... Patch it up with gaffer tape..... Sell it on. I suppose anything is better than him doing service work. I just pitty the poor train passengers that end up on their coaches.
