(27 Nov 2013, 9:46 am)BusFanPrudhoe The 131 was awarded on an emergency contract to Peter Hogg. One of Munro's Plaxton Beaver 2s was sold to Peter Hogg in January. The rest of the routes were allocated to First and Perryman's. Perrymans have established a new depot (with seperate operator licence) in St Boswells. Perryman's have also aquired new Optare Versa 11.7m buses for the routes.

I can't see any other pics of this on flickr. Does anyone know how long they've had it?

New 131 route and timetable as of Monday 12th October. The morning journey will commence from Kelso at 0850 on school days, and all Newcastle journeys will serve both Central Station and Eldon Square.
Looks like that spells the end for Solo YJ55BGO

Thanks to Peter Hogg for the confirmation, there Optare Excel has been withdrawn but remains in the depot.
Even if it isn't registered as a coach, you can use it in normal service for a certain number of days per calender year. Thats how Lothian managed to use heritage vehicles on a normal bus route.
