• United Transport International, the overseas bus operating company in the BET group, has placed a firm order for 125 Freight Rover Sherpa minibuses with Carlyle Works bodies fitted with 18 seats and luggage capacity.
It plans on operating the Sherpas on a new urban minibus operation being set up in partnership with a number of ex-National Bus Company executives in an as yet unnamed UK city. The project is one of a number being planned by UT1 and will be launched early next yearafter the period of transition ends on January 27. According to UT I director John Clymo, who is responsible for the operation in the UK, two projects have already been firmed up.
The first will require 225 vehicles to operate. An order for a second 100 vehicles is to be placed in the near future. Clyrno would not name the towns the operations will be launched in, although Manchester and Sheffield are thought to be strong possibilities.
