DM Motor Services is an interesting one considering they're based in Tockwith. However I've seen mention one of their vehicles being parked in West Cornforth due to a driver living there.
Whilst I've personally have seen one of their coaches parked around Holy Cross, Wallsend. It was on St Peters Road (seen here -
https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photog...5059274758) before it disappeared for a while, it then reappeared parked down in Wallsend Burn (Bottom of Rosehill Bank and Church Bank) for about a week at the beginning of June, it has since disappeared again.
Does anyone know if JH Coaches have retained the 941 from September or not? Thanks.

- L&G Coaches: 12 (+10)

A big win for SMEs, in the main, with large reductions at Go North East and JH Coaches.

Very interesting. Good to see L&G, Northstar and Stanley Travel win so many contracts. Do you know what the codes mean? Particularly interested to find out who has been awarded the 941 contract.
Does anyone know yet if JH Coaches have retained the 941 from September? Thanks.

More tenders have been awarded or something. I dont get this one as only Jh, Northstar & GNE are listed here
Are these more tenders or ones handed back by company's then handed to another one
Looks like tenders handed back by Stanley Travel and Northstar.
