(05 Oct 2020, 1:27 pm)DaveyB 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.There are at least 3 LK04 *** registered Volvo B7TL/President and three LR52 ***

JH are filling in for Arriva on the 64, this week. I suspected this might be the case when one of their E200s passed us both ways with timing looking like route learning for the 64, last week, but I've seen a Streetlite on the route, today. Not sure how many boards they're covering.

Understand they're covering 6 weekday boards and 5 Saturday boards - judging by the Arriva vehicles tracking on Bus Times (and back-tracking on the same site), the working JH are doing are the daytime boards, with Arriva retaining the boards which stay out on late turns.
RE: JH Coaches of Birtley - BusLoverMum - 03 Aug 2021
So far clocked a handful of presidents, Streetlite and the E200 that was out on training, last week.
I did have a photo to attach but now realise I can't do that directly, any more.

One thing that impresses me about JH is no matter what time of day you see a bus its immaculate from the outside.

Well, when all you do is school trips and Metro replacements, all you can do to pass the time is get the jet wash out and give them a clean

RE: JH Coaches of Birtley - wibblejunior - 15 May 2022
Saw Thirlwell's YM03 EPA on the A1 today, but noticed that it's fleetnames have been removed (at least on the driver's side) - can anyone confirm whether it's still with this operator or if it's moved on to someone else?
