North East Buses

Few more bits of info from a quick look in Compass' yard today...

Solo T14CRT, Dart MX05ENE and another Solo still reside at Compass, all repainted white.
New into the fleet is Scania Irizar YN06CKF (apparently a 70 seater) and DAF R116GNW (registered YIL1230)
Confirmed re-registered is B10M Premiere R459BAY to YIL1226

Caetano Enigma MM03TGM has turned up at Procters so another into the fleet there.

Expect there to be lots of sales soon...

Also wish they would make up their mind to what the service number for this service is, sometimes it's the X34, other times it's the 34

are they allowed to do that? Check vosa to see if they've got two services registered...

center is a correct spelling

I haven't seen Center being used much in this country except for Center Parcs.

In this case Center is not a correct use, it should be Centre in this case for the display.

A few updates on ex Leven buses.
Y178CFS, W793VMV & W794VMV are with Silcox, Pembroke. Good to see 93/94 sticking together since Metrobus days.
SN05HDF with HuytonTL Liverpool. St Patrick 75 was the best of the ex Leven Darts.
Dales MX54KXW also at HuytonTL.

So what buses has dales and district kept from leven valley

sorry should have mentioned the regs of the vehicles
they are:
W87 NDW
MW52 PYX
MX06 ENE

The Leven Valley thread was incorporated into the Procters page a while back so yes it is the right place!

Had a quick visit to the Compass yard today - didn't go in but just what I could see from the fence!

Confirmed reg plates now
YIL1224 = P996JBC
YIL1225 = P316RGS
YIL1226 = R459BAY
YIL1227 = R619BAY
LIL9815 = FL02ZXF
LIL9816 = FL02ZXG

I've updated these on our fleetlist.
There are tons of coaches sold at auction but I need confirmation of new owners ideally.
Might have to set up a separate list for Procters Sales...

Also at Compass' yard was Solo MW52PYX which appears to be in use on schools, and Dart MX05ENE is still laid up engineless. I wonder if MW52PYX will go onto the Park & Ride. T14CRT appeared to have gone though.

USU345 is now on a Irizar Century with Compass.

R23COM is now a reg on a Compass Plaxton Panther 2.

It appears they've made this mistake more than once on YJ64DXL as it was operating service 72 this evening displaying Northallerton Town Center.

T14CRT has received new logos for the Uni Park and Ride.

New addition to the Dales & District fleet.

The bus they use on there seems to be kept at Compass so maybe it was off the road. Wonder what was on the University Park and Ride?
