So that means that J&C must have bought three coaches from Weardale the two Dennis/Plaxtons and a Scania Irizar Century.

I think Weardale have been getting a former Alfa Holidays Plaxton Paragon as one was parked at Crook Tonight.

Weardale have been getting another Vanhool and judging by the livery i think its a former Reays Coach.

Got the 941 the other night and it was a really polite driver. He said that the bus which was supposed to be operating it wasn't in use so SN03 EBK was allocated any idea what is normally allocated

Weardale have added at least eight vehicles to the fleet over recent months and sold four what i know of the other day in the yard was a dark silver/Black Vanhool and i think Ex Parrys GIB 206 may have moved on and from what i have been told 8WMS is long term SORN since last year.the Iveco that has arrived was a former Pearces of Oxford on a 2008 model.

Was led to believe it was going back to Van Hool for repair after the French authorities were finished with it
