Anything amiss at KLCH?
I was surprised to see one of Shaws/Travellers Fare buses on the Lancaster Park and Ride around 7 this morning instead of the usual dedicated KL bus.
And a few minutes earlier there were three Travellers Fare coaches leaving White Lund in convoy, presumably heading off for school runs. I'm not aware of Travellers Fare stabling in Morecambe, unless they're working from the KL depot on White Lund?

Traveller's Choice bought Battersby's, KLCH and Yellow Rose back in 2016, then reorganised the "group" - making Battersby a dormant company and transferring ownership of Traveller's/KLCH/YR to Zircon Holdings which is entirely owned by the Shaw family.
Basically a clever accounting way of separating the 3 companies out while still keeping them relatively closely linked.
Recent aquisition Hunter's of Loanhead is also "owned" by Zircon.
