There is a connection with Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company and the Crawley bus accident (The Argus, March 11).
When Arriva ceased to operate in Crawley and handed over to Metrobus, a Go Ahead company, it acquired three single-deckers from Brighton and Hove. The bus in the accident is one of these.
On BBC South Today, the managing director of Metrobus said he had recently been appointed, when the founder of Metrobus retired.
He is now at Orpington. In the formation of Brighton and Hove bus company in 1986, the present managing director of Metrobus was the chief engineer at Brighton and Hove and ordered new buses. Subsequently, for a long period, he was engineering director of the Go Ahead group, being the engineering chief of all Go Ahead group bus companies until he was appointed MD at Metrobus.
