News/Pictures/Discussion regarding Glen Valley Travel to be posted here.

[Don't think there will be much as they only have one service that operates at present - 710]


RE: Glen Valley Travel - tyresmoke - 04 Jan 2013

That's a shame, means I'll have to go to Alnwick at some point to phoo them Smile Having said that its usually the same coach on 710 every time, RIL3908

RE: Glen Valley Travel - passenger_10 - 22 Jan 2015

A bit of a minor incident / embarrassment in Alnwick Bus Station for Glen Valley Tours yesterday. Apparently the back wheel on one of their Solos caught fire whilst on the 473. A passenger phoned the fire brigade and 2 fire engines turned up to the bus station. I hope the Arriva bus in the background wasn't in a hurry to leave.

273 allocated either yn03 wza optare alero/ or optare solo sr yj60 kgz
267 kp51 ufd or mercedes sprinter
270 either optare solo sr or optare alero

this is due to NA52 NJV being V.O.R

RE: Glen Valley Travel - buss14 - 10 Jan 2016

when i was talking to dave who is usually on the 464 from berwick said that in march time glenvalley are updating their fleet and that means the 52 reg solo's will most likely go and 51 reg plaxton beaver will go as well.

p.s if i had possession of a voice recorder which i don't i would have recorded what he said
