Amazing what two little scrotes with a cigarette lighter can achieve. Golden Triangle Estate has a security barrier, so there are serious questions to be answered.

Any ideas what Vehicles have survived and what hasn't?

I know a green Wright bodied volvo b6 with ashcrofts on the side was driving down speke boulevard last night but according to reports the coaches that survived no damage now have no documents or keys for them as they all went up in flames when the office burned down.
So they still can't be used.

This shows the fire at Ashcrofts garage and some of the vehicles which have survived, quite a lot by the looks here, but there are some destroyed

and also here more specifically about Ashcroft's and the after effects of the fire, seems that about a quarter of the fleet may have been destroyed, but 30 survive but have no keys as they were destroyed, the firm also says it needs now the seek a new site as they are unable to use the current site on Golden Triangle.

Does anybody know if Ashcroft are doing these runs on an emergency basis or have they got the tenders indefinitely?
