It's actually MH07 not KH Adam, can see why as the number plate has gone a bit fuzzy on the photo
Was on a rare jaunt onto the 23 Washington - Barley Mow today
RE: Stanley Travel - Andreos1 - 26 Apr 2013
Not sure if it is on the same diagram, but a Stanley Travel bus (it was Kingsleys for a period) work a scholars to one of the Primary Schools in Houghton le Spring.
I think both Kingsleys and Arriva have had the 968 contract recently.

Nexus Bus Solo working the 452 scholars this morning

Just a thought here I could be wrong that these all interwork.
Morning 968 Easington Lane - Waterview Park
Morning Scholars 452
Then onto the 23 all day
Then finally operating the Evening 968 Waterview Park - Easington Lane
Obviously the Afternoon 452 would have to be operated using either another bus or by another Company. Also we'd have to work out the timings.
968 Easington Lane - Waterwiew Park
Leaves the Lane at 0710 and get to Waterview Park at 0756
23 Washington - Birtley
Starts at 0812 in Birtley operating a 5 minute Journey to Lansbury Drive.
Then 08:24/54 from Barley Mow to Lansbury Drive
First 23 from Washington Galleries is 1013 to Barley Mow
First 23 to Washington Galleries from Birtley is 0924
Until
Last one from Barley Mow to Washington is 1524
Last one from Washington to Barley Mow is 1613
968 from Waterview to Easington Lane starts at 16:37
It may interwork on the Morning but not afternoon, as there could be more than one Nexus Solo, i'm quite confused.
RE: Stanley Travel - Andreos1 - 07 May 2013
Thats the bus which was on the 452 this morning - see earlier comment

I don't think it interconnects with the 23. I saw both vehicles operating it on it today. One was the Nexus Alexander Dennis MPD, whilst the other was the Plaxton MPD in normal fleet livery.
I sure Stanley inherited two Nexus Solos from Connect when they ceased trading.
RE: Stanley Travel - gtom - 07 May 2013
Yeah as I a posted earlier the Enviro is a rarity

Only took on the short one - the longer one Connect used on their 73 was returned to Optare and is now with Hatch Green Coaches in Somerset.
RE: Stanley Travel - Andreos1 - 13 May 2013
Enviro 200 in company livery working the 452 this morning if anyone is wanting to check out or solve the riddle of whether it interworks with the 23 and/or 968
RE: Stanley Travel - Andreos1 - 11 Jun 2013
452 and 968 def interwork at some point during the day. Envrio on 452 this morning on 968 tonight. What it does during the day though, goodness knows
RE: Stanley Travel - Andreos1 - 12 Jun 2013
Is anyone following @G2_STX on twitter? Travelling around the UK and rasing money for charity at the same time
RE: Stanley Travel - tyresmoke - 16 Jun 2013
Yes I am, it is now carrying a white version of Shearings Holidays livery.
Also of note is a number of new vehicles due next month from Plaxtons, unsure of how many but likely to be 2 or 3.
RE: Stanley Travel - Andreos1 - 19 Jul 2013
The mystery may be solved re the 23/452/968 and whether they interwork or not...
The Enviro was heading down past Batleys (presumably from the depot) marked 452 Scholars service.
When this run ends, it more than likely runs onto a 968 (not much dead mileage) - meaning the 23 may not interwork at all with them.

Stanley's bus on the 23 today was Alexander Dennis MPD OO05 STX, so more or less confirms what you're saying
RE: Stanley Travel - tyresmoke - 12 Aug 2013
Stanley Travel will take over operation of evening service 14 between Durham and Langley Park on Mon-Thu evenings from 1st September under contract to Durham CC.
RE: Stanley Travel - GuyParkRoyal - 02 Sep 2013
Stanley Travel out on their new Monday to Thursday evening service 14 Langley Park to Durham route using Dart SLF, ADL Enviro 200 registration MH07EPY.
RE: Stanley Travel - tyresmoke - 02 Sep 2013
Stanley are operating Van Hool T917 Astron M111DPC on behalf of David Palmer on Palmer Select holidays. This is in addition to smaller M222DPC which is a simple VDL SB4000 with T9 body. M111 is apparently mainly based around Wetherby as it works out of North Yorkshire on tours, saw it at Wetherby last night.

Looks like Stanley Travel/Coaches may have new coaches on order.
RE: Stanley Travel - tyresmoke - 06 Oct 2013
The new Van Hool was in the yard today, due to go out on a tour tomorrow along with OO12STX. It is registered as TX63STX.
