RE: Jim Hughes of Sunderland/Birtley - Dan - 31 Aug 2015
(31 Aug 2015, 1:53 pm)Wybus A number of JH Coaches ALX400s have been in Leeds this weekend helping out on Leeds Festival shuttles.
The question is, have they been sold to Geldards Coaches, Leeds or were they just on loan?
For those that don't know Geldards usually call on anyone within a 50 mile radius who operate schools deckers to help with the high vehicle requirement for Leeds Festival shuttles.

followed the Blackpool express back along from Tebay tonight. Think it was an Irizar tri-axle. Judging by the huge amounts of thick black smoke coming from the exhaust it may want some attention. Bus looked fantastic though.

I've updated our fleetlist to take account of the latest changes to the fleet... I'd be grateful if anyone could update the fleet number list though as we have many coaches not allocated numbers as yet! Cheers

My tutor saw a JH Coaches double-deck vehicle at SAFC yesterday. She said that it had blue plastic seats. Can anyone confirm the seating?
(Apologies for the seat subject

I believe it is the same type of seating which is in Go North East's Presidents and OmniDekkas.
RE: Jim Hughes of Sunderland/Birtley - JHCoaches - 15 Sep 2015
Plastic Seating - pfffft - not likely - All of our vehicles have padded seats.

This and T318/319FGN are shown on the Geldards fleetlist at the end of their operations. I'm unsure whether they were actually operated by Geldards or all by Squarepeg, though. Perhaps JH can let us know who they sold them to?

JH have a feature in the latest 'In and around'.
Alex Nelson (he of Chester le Track fame and other places in Chester le Street) took a trip there and has featured it in his latest article.
A canny read. Will try and upload if I get a chance.
RE: Jim Hughes of Sunderland/Birtley - Dan - 28 Sep 2015
Noted a gold President on Bensham Bank earlier - appeared to have had all JH branding removed. Can anyone shed any light?
RE: Jim Hughes of Sunderland/Birtley - JHCoaches - 29 Sep 2015
Hi Dan,
That would of been one of our new gold deckers which haven't been liveried yet. Either KWT or KVO. The primo, two deckers and 70 seater will be getting the livery applied very soon.
