That's a good question, I presume not (will ask and get back to you) as with Arriva pulling out of the QBP on this route in theory it will be a stagecoach stand alone service now like the X8

But I may be wrong

It got towed in the other night as it broke down on a Chester route, as far as I was aware it was awaiting for Chester to fix it and take it back, unless plans have changed

GXN and possibly GXJ are still for sale (depending if Ensign sell it on or keep it...) Anyone fancy buying it/them and starting a new company?

(Which I still have to wait 5-8 years before I can drive...)

I'm surprised any of them sold as quickly as they have. They're shagged. really don't have much life left in them.

It's been mentioned one of the reasons behind their sale is their unreliability and the sheer amount it was costing to maintain them.

First deliberately sent them to us when the sale of Chester and Wirral was announced and took numerous R and S ref scania L113s and L94s with them. Some went to Yorkshire, Bolton and some Ipswich iirc. They knew what they where doing. Send us the junk knowing they where knackered and took some of the best scanias with them.

If course to stagecoach it would have looked good on paper, 53 plates instead of 1997/8/9 scanias.
