Apparently another Dart has also been added to the fleet but unsure of it's identity at present.

The identity of the other Dart is SN03WMV.

Will the X79 be a one trip only so that the bus can run onto 54/55?

A recent addition to the fleet is baby Solo MX58 ACO

Hodgsons Coaches: MX58ACO by Matthew Jimmison, on Flickr

Hodgsons have now registered Darlington services 29, 34, 72 & 610R starting on April 29th (can't be bothered copying and pasting VOSA registrations lol)

Connect Tees Valley have uploaded the new timetables for the Darlington services, similar frequencies to the current offering from Dales & District although additional trips have been added on service 72, on weekday mornings there will be a 72 to Northallerton departing from Darlington at 06:45 and an additional Monday - Saturday evening departure to Darlington departing from Northallerton at 18:10

29 https://connectteesvalley.com/data/timet...290419.pdf
34 https://connectteesvalley.com/data/timet...290419.pdf
72 https://connectteesvalley.com/data/timet...290419.pdf
610R https://connectteesvalley.com/data/timet...290419.pdf

79 has a slightly revised timetable with a new trip departing from Richmond at 17:45, there's also a X79 to Richmond departing from Barnard Castle at 07:00 (how it takes just as long to get to Richmond as the 79 does even though it misses some of the villages out is beyond me) anyway, times can be found on BusTimes (will have to change the date to April 29th to see new 79 times): https://bustimes.org/operators/hodgsons

Timetables for 53/54/55 now available on Hodgsons website (as are the Darlington services)

53 http://www.hodgsonsbuses.com/service_53.html
54 http://www.hodgsonsbuses.com/service_54.html
55 http://www.hodgsonsbuses.com/service_55.html

More E200's are currently in the process of being delivered.

Today (April 29th) was the first day of Hodgsons operation of services 29, 34, 53, 54, 55, 72 & 610R.

Services 29, 34, 53/54/55 & 72 were operated by recently acquired Enviro 200's SN65OHE, YX17NDY, YX17NTO & YX17NTT which have all gained a new livery for Hodgsons stagecarriage bus operations.

Ford Transit YP12JUW was allocated to service 610R this evening.

Hodgsons Buses: YP12JUW by Matthew Jimmison, on Flickr

A couple of unreported additions to the fleet are 10.8m Enviro 200 YY66 PCZ and MAN/Plaxton Centro MX59 KUE. MX59 KUE is currently not in use, pending service prep and repaint.

Solo S24 BUS is parked up off fleet.

On the coach side, new additions are 61 seat VDL Futura 2 YD19 GTY and 57 seat VDL Futura 2 YD19 GTZ. Also in service is Mercedes 815D/Sitcar Beluga YJ06 GLV. Scania Omniexpress YN16 UAO has departed.

Solo S24 BUS has been sold.

Hodgsons have recently acquired E200 SN59 AXB

Hodgsons: SN59AXB by Matthew Jimmison, on Flickr

They also have 10.8m E200 YX18KUF but I believe this is a temp addition whilst the E200s under warranty work or something along those lines

Certainly is. It is due to be returned early December.

11.4m TransBus Trident/President SN53 AVZ is with Hodgsons operating home to school contracts, former Lothian 633.

14m tri-axle Bova Futura Magnum YE03 VSM and 12m Bova Futura WA05 OSD both joined the Hodgsons fleet earlier in the Autumn, along with Ford Transit RO13 HPZ. Scania Interlink Finesse YN17 ONT has departed.

Hodgsons Coaches: MX58ACO by Matthew Jimmison, on Flickr

MX58 ACO now carries the registration LJU 914: https://flic.kr/p/2iFUQb4

A few changes over the past few months not noted:

Ex Lothian Trident SN53 AVU is now on the fleet and has been re-registered YIL 1595.
SN53 AVZ has been re-registered MUI 6061. The Dennis Javelin that had the MUI 6061 plate on has been parked up for some time and reverted to it's original registration.
MAN/Centro MX59 KUE has been re-registered UDZ 447.
Iveco BX17 XBP has been sold.
Volvo B11R/Plaxton Elite SD16 AAG has joined the fleet, ex Parks of Hamilton.
Trident/President LR52 KXH has also joined the fleet, previously with JH Coaches.

The Hodgsons fleetlist should be up to date now, though there are a few vehicles that I have question marks on in my own spreadsheet if anyone knows what happened to them....

Darts S331GVL, T550HNH, YT51DZY, SN03WLL, SN03WMV
Javelin R105CKN, Y339YUT
