 Midland was taken over by GRT Group, who decided that the operation was too remote from Midland's other depots to be financially viable.The company was sold to its management in 1992, although GRT retained a minority share.At its creation Oban and District owned 20 buses, mainly Leyland Leopard single-deckers, and used a blue and cream livery similar to the colours introduced to Midland's operations by GRT.
