News/Info regarding Jim Hughes to be posted here


Jim Hughes have recently re-branded Volvo B10M OTP940 and WSU486. They carry the standard gold variation of the livery with 'jh' vinyls applied.

In addition to this, Mercedes Touro BX06UMJ retains the red livery she previously carried with similar vinyls applied.

Finally, Volvo B10M YSV815 had a run out to Lightwater Valley today on a school trip. She too has been put into the livery of OTP940/WSU486 - gold again too.

Who normally works the Nat Express 425?
Just passed it on A1 and it is being worked by a gold Jim Hughes coach - with a card display on the dash

Normally Yourbus operated ... Guess they're either working a dupe or a replacement.

(28 Feb 2014, 9:52 am)Scott I heard on the radio that the entire fleet has been hired to go down to Wembley for the game against Man City on Sunday.

YSV815 certainly is. Haven't seen any others yet.
