As for Glenvale's demise, I know one of the financial backers of that company and he assured me that the cost of replacing an ageing fleet, upgrading depot facilities and tackling fare evasion was beyond him.

We are going off topic now but Arriva and Stagecoach would never buy HTL, Almost all the routes are tenders and HTL own hardly any of their Buses.
