"Ludlows was a bus operator that operated a number of services in Halesowen, West Midlands, England. It operated a varied fleet of around 20 white buses, all of which were low-floor, still unusual for a small company. In 2007, Ludlows was purchased by Rotala subsidiary Central Connect, which itself operates many bus services around Birmingham. Rotala paid \u00A3850,000 for the company, after raising a \u00A31 million loan. Rotala purchased all of the company's assets. Ludlows lost \u00A324,000 in 2005/6, but in 2006/7 showed a \u00A3169,000 pretax profit."@en . . . . "200"^^ . . . "Ludlows"@en . . . . . "Ludlows"@en . . . . . . . . . . . "2007"^^ . .
