• Big buses down 25.3% to 2,345 units for the rolling year to August
• Coaches up 1% to 1,165 for the rolling year to August
• Midibuses buck the trend, up 31.9% to 3,940 for rolling year to August.

‘Despite generally good August registrations, it’s wise not to read too much into one month’s figures,’ said Christopher Macgowan, 91³ÉÈË chief executive. ‘Over recent months some trends are clear, with big bus registrations now more stable after falling over 20%. Coach registrations look good, back to a rolling year total of over 1,100 now that some of the recent distortions have cleared. Midibuses have delivered the best results, with 30% growth every 12 months over the past four years and clearly, that pace has accelerated recently.’
