Didn't realise these were still going. I was sure they were hauled before the traffic comissioner for a major telling off a few years ago.

Green Mountain Travel appear to be running the Tyne Pedestrain Tunnel replacement service. When I used the service today they were using Mercedes 614D Excel BX05VNN with the 16 space bike trailer. For the driver shift change at 14.45 they used Sprinter NJ63XSB.

I saw the same (or a similar) minibus when I was crossing the Tyne Tunnel on the 9 last month. Hadn't thought that they could have been running the Pedestrian Tunnel replacement service. Cheers for confirming!

Another new addition to the full size fleet appears to be MAN Panther YN07EAG - which is wearing a two tone blue livery advertising Northumbria University - https://www.flickr.com/photos/nebp2/27269804813

Cheers Charles, I did some more research while adding a fleetlist for these... turns out they've got YN07EAE, EAF and EAG.

Unlikely as the Shuttle Bus requires a vehicle with a tow bar to pull the bike trailer.

Apparently Henry Cooper Coaches now operate the Morpeth local services with a Green Mountain Travel minibus used as a driver changeover vehicle only, not actually going out running the services.

Did I read somewhere that the E200 needs a new engine, and it’s not affordable so they are loaning the B7RLE from Henry Cooper for the foreseeable to run the Morpeth service?

Yep I saw that, supposedly going to be 20k or somewhere in that region for a new engine. They've had the use of the Henry Cooper B7RLE for a while now.

Would it not be worth just getting an Ex-Arriva/GNE bus or something instead of loaning the B7RLE.

Also the E200 is that the 68 Plate one?
