Hi all,
I sometimes stick my head around here but don't always log in when looking...
I thought this might be a good place to try as many of the forums I am on are so niche they are dead...
Thurmaston Bus/Coachmaster Ltd. was an independent operator within Leicestershire who were established way back in 2000. Thurmaston Bus issued a winding up order on the 10th August 2011. after which, Coachmaster Ltd. (in itself a seperate company but was part of the 'group') took over the remaining commercial services and private hire contracts etc.
This arrangement lasted two month's until the axe came on the 28th October 2011. since then I have heard from bus enthusiasts that the buses all got repossessed. I am currently trying to track them down, as I am interested to try and get at least one of the vehicles saved for preservation.
the vehicles in question are as follows:
MCW Metrobuses: POG566Y, ROX640Y, A763WVP, B870DOM, POG540Y, C896FON, POG533Y, POG484Y, P138TDL, POG535Y, P140TDL, P305HDP
The following are newer vehicles which were the mainstay of the fleet running the main commercial services before the aforementioned buses.
I wonder if any of the bus spotters and photographers on here have happened to see these buses recently: KV02URL -KV02URS, KV02USP,
if you have any idea where these buses are it would be appreciated!
I know its an awful lot to ask but when you think how many buses are on our roads and out there then when you think about it.... its not very much? lol
anyway many thanks indeed in advance!
