(10 Mar 2015, 12:45 pm)Andreos1 Very sad to see this happen, particularly when it is for the reasons described.
Has any reason been given for the massive rise in premiums?
There is some more detail in this article

Majority will no longer be required so will probably be sold! Dales & District have lost a few contracts from mid April too of course

See my post in the upcoming Arriva changes thread for info on extra service 6's and 7A's to cover former Leven work starting from next Saturday
RE: Procters Group - Kuyoyo - 11 Mar 2015
And see my post in the Stagecarriage thread regarding some more former Leven work with secured futures.
RE: Procters Group - tyresmoke - 14 Mar 2015
Procters appear to be having a bit of a clear out, with various fleet members from across the group, including Esk Valley Solo MX54KXW, now for sale on www.procterscoachandbussales.com
No doubt the Leven fleet will start to appear on there too...
EDIT: Also suggests that Compass Iveco FE51RGX has been sold

YN11 FUP was covering for a Loch and Glens branded vehicle this morning... https://www.flickr.com/photos/tommy1581/16759816660/
Could be because of the accident in Scotland?

Depends how many they have booked out I guess. Either that or this was doing a feeder and they'll swap passengers at a services to allow the tour coach to stay in Scotland for another week or whatever.
