Hi all,
Just looking for a little background on the above bus type which operated with First PMT then Manchester and on to Glasgow. I remember them being in Glasgow and being really good motors. They were good capacity and always seemed pretty speedy and clean inside.
Their cascade to Britain seems a little unusual given they were new to China Motors. Does anyone know why they were moved to the UK and acquired by First? Surely movement of these buses from China to the UK must have been a costly operation. I really liked these buses and am fascinated by them also.
Nothing of the type has really happened again from my knowledge (I could be wrong). Was this a rare one off and could it happen again with some of the newer Wright and ADL tri axles which operate one China, do we need them?
