I thought I saw an ALX400 with that sticker on the front at the bottom of Baxters Lane/Robins Lane yesterday when I was on the 32

Now being overage for Merseytravel work, all of the Excels have now gone and the following 5 Enviro200s were noted in the yard at some ungodly hour last night:

KX07 HEU
KX07 HEV
KX07 HFA
KX07 HFB
KX07 HFC

Also, all three of the ex LU VAs carry the Winstanley College vinyls.

Was it a bad collision? , is it repairable or will it be goodbye?

I'm led to believe that quite a bit of Red Kite school contracts have been worked by other operators today. Has there been a mass changing of contracts this week or is the company having operational difficulties? If it's the latter, it's not a good start to 2018 for one of a few independents left in the area.

Im led to beleive his laid off all his school service drivers and only kept 5 of the longer serving drivers on for the coach work/private hires but no reason as been given for the loss of contracts.
