News/Pictures/Discussion regarding Glen Valley Travel to be posted here.
[Don't think there will be much as they only have one service that operates at present - 710]
That's a shame, means I'll have to go to Alnwick at some point to phoo them
Having said that its usually the same coach on 710 every time, RIL3908
A recent purchase for Glen Valley is VDL Bova Futura YJ09FHU from Coach Options.
Not sure what it's replaced
Glen Valley have a brand new Volvo B11R Jonckheere JHV ER15GVT - 53 seater delivered a few weeks ago.
Did not know that buses with a Hannover display run on the 710
been doing a bit of a tour about and i got talking to the driver of 470 from alnwick and he said that the company are looking for a replacement for KF51 UFD as it doesn't meet the DDA regulations.
Look like Glen Valley are expanding.

It won't be on my 710 from Morpeth tomorrow though
looks like glenvalleg have another optare alero yellow yn53 wzv
just spotted a load of differences with 273 267 270 service allocations
273 allocated either yn03 wza optare alero/ or optare solo sr yj60 kgz
267 kp51 ufd or mercedes sprinter
270 either optare solo sr or optare alero
this is due to NA52 NJV being V.O.R

Low mileage being ex Menzies at Heathrow on mobility shuttles
I've added this to our fleetlist... including your photo Jimmi
when i was talking to dave who is usually on the 464 from berwick said that in march time glenvalley are updating their fleet and that means the 52 reg solo's will most likely go and 51 reg plaxton beaver will go as well.
p.s if i had possession of a voice recorder which i don't i would have recorded what he said
[quote='Cobalt271' pid='147788' dateline='1453840787']
Look like one of the Solo's could be going a bit sooner!

The article suggests a fire but one of the owner's relatives said it was a "Blown Turbo which caused smoke"
[
just have to see when i go home to wooler see what is happening
GVT have invested in a new Volvo 9700 - registration BL65VJG. I also believe they have added a "new" Solo (possibly the 7.8m variant) to the fleet

That's rather odd allocation, normally coaches.
How do you think it is in a bad state? I only rode it a few months back and it seemed fine to me, looked well maintained inside and I have to say it shifted quite well. About the only thing that seemed wrong with it to me was the destination screen.

To answer that it had rather tatty seats the led board wasnt working the driver didn't have a 470 piece so she put 473 wooler on also the back looks a disgrace.
Also im not sure coaches run the 470 id say from past occasions that yellow taxi thing appears upon the route
