Thanks for the latest updates JHCoaches !
Any chance you can confirm a few details for our fleetlist?

> Seating in the Tridents - I note they're 73 seaters, originally 60 (39/21) - can you confirm the current split, as 34 seats downstairs seems a lot!
> Seating in the DAF's - forgot to check one since they've been single doored
> Seating detail for M135UWY (I'm guessing a 70 seater?)
> Previous Registration details for 3262MW, MSU830

Cheers for any help!

I don't know if you can do anything about it but my scholars 525 uses the LT02 ZZx buses regularly and there isn't enough seats and the new driver we have was really moody as we were blocking the gangway.

Have just seen W2RJC on the Houghton Cut heading towards Sunderland. Still looks very smart in gold, despite being in a withdrawn status.

Would be Birtley, I'd imagine. Don't think the one in Sunderland is in use any more? Gates were certainly shut with nothing parked inside last time I was there (a month or two ago)
