With Plaxton “not dead, but resting” at the moment, the UK is missing on a home brand coach offering as it stands. All the statistics point to an extremely buoyant coach market, lead times are long on some European products allowing Yutong to wedge its way quite quickly into the sector. Irizar...

Apologies if there's already a thread for this operator but I can't find one on any search. I'm sure admin will merge if so! Four brand new Yutong E12s were on the road today on the 4 (Ayr - Glasgow) service today. They are 73053-6 (YK74PMV/X/Y and YK74PNE). Does anyone know how many are due...

This might be outwith the realm of this forum as it's outwith the UK, but the recent thread on the express services ran by independents, in particular from Donegal, reminded me I'm confused by the set up in Ireland so hopefully someone can answer. Local bus services seem to be set by TFI, and...
