摘要

Rotala's Diamond Bus further increased its presence in the West Midlands by acquiring the 25-vehicle Hanson's Local Bus business on 28 July. Hanson's was based in the Lye district of Stourbridge and ran 19 registered services in the Black Country, nine of them to the Intu Merry Hill Centre shopping complex at Brierley Hill. Its fleet was a mix mainly of Pointer Darts (Dennis/Plaxton, TransBus and Alexander Dennis) and Alexander Dennis Enviro200s, some bought new.
