It seems that in the last few months Beestons have sold much of their modern coach fleet and their 2017/2018 Enviro 400 MMC double deckers.
Seems around the same time that these vehicles were sold, once again their fleet of Omnidekkas, most dating back to 2004 are the mainstays of their work again, whereas the fleet was slowly being modernised pre-pandemic.
From an outsiders point of view, it looks suspiciously like a company that is trying to sell assets to create working capital to survive the pandemic. Is this the case?
How are the other independents in East Anglia getting on? I assume that the lack of schools operating, the death of the leisure, private hire, tours and excursions market and a massive drop in service work demand is seriously putting them at risk?
