The Flights name refers to the operations around London's Airports (definitely Heathrow & I think Gatwick, they did have some work around Luton as well but I think they recently lost all of that) which are still operated under the Flights name. Ludlows was bought by Rotala but the brand disappeared very quickly after the rather protracted takeover and the vehicles were repainted pretty quick as well so that was never a Rotala brand. Central Connect was renamed Blue Diamond a couple of years ago, Rotala have since appeared to drop the colour seperations for Diamond (Red for Worcestershire, Black for the Black Country & Blue for the former Central Connect work) & just adopted the Diamond brand with the blue livery though repaints pending you can still see their vehicles in their various precursor brand liveries running around, so from a customer perspective Central Connect also no longer exists as an operation (though not sure whether they have merged the O-licenses as well though that would be logical with the latest TC guidance on Transport Manager responsibilities).dwarfer1979noreply@blogger.com
