Ian Howard posted on here how brilliant the fuel economy on the Metrocity was but despite that he put it up for sale following Cheshire East cancelling the 27, 200 & 289 contracts and giving the new 88/89 contract to D&G. At the same time he retained older large buses which suggests that Cheshire East decision had a very negative impact on Howards.

It happens. A company looses a lucrative contract and suddenly the wolf is at the door knocking.
MP travel we’re using one of Howard’s vehicles not long ago on the X1 claiming it was painted in ‘Howards New livery’ so a come back has been on the cards for a while.
