Hulleys of Baslow


 

There's a fair deal of speculation and rumours on various internet forums at present regarding the future of Hulleys.

I'll try avoiding speculation and just report the facts as I understand them...

In December 2023 the owner of Hulleys purchased the Go-Coach business from it's former owner, Austin Blackburn.

In December 2024, Mr Blackburn issued a notice to Go-Coach staff stating he had re-purchased the business, expressing concerns that the Go-Coach business was being used to "prop-up" Hulleys and whist it would be "business as usual" for Go-Coach he felt the same may not be tru for Hulleys.

Hulleys have returned 2 of their E200MMCs to the rental company - these are YX23 OTB and almost new YX74 ODY.? Coming in to the fleet is ex Stagecoach London Optare Solo YJ60 PFN via Ripleys and Harrogate Coach Travel,? It is still in "London" condition.

Short notice service changes come in at the end of next week which by my calculations reduce the PVR by 2.? These, I gather, will allow the remaining 3 leased E200MMCs - YX74 ODM/N/P to be returned.
