Wonder where Lowdons will keep their Van Hool coach now. Lovely family owned firm Thirlwells, always welcoming when I ask to look round the yard. I first visited in about 1989.

Don't think it's been mentioned yet. RE: JH Coaches of Birtley - DaveyB - 05 Oct 2020 I see JH Coaches has added ex-GNE 5209 to its fleet. I think there’s also an ex-Metroline President new to the fleet too. In both cases the buses are red rather than gold. |
