There is a vinyl on the nearside of the vehicle.

Well people had already mentioned that it gained extra branding so I didn't think it was worth mentioning that it had been named. Mind I don't think anyone posted a photo of it with it's new branding on here.

I had my first experience today of JH Coaches on the 900., I was very impressed, the bus was in excellent condition (LR52 KVO)

RE: Jim Hughes of Sunderland/Birtley - tyresmoke - 06 Apr 2016

Two new additions to the fleet are Mercedes Tourismo's BJ59OJA/OJB from Redwing, London.

Leaving the fleet is Scania Irizar 5579MW

Do the alx400s jim hughes have to be withdrawn by 2017?

I think they do because they weren't refurbished upon transfer from London, Unlike the first batch that went to ANE ( Also T-Reg )

Wonder what JH will get to replace these

Judging by recent additions I would say more converted ex London deckers.

Everything seems to link up as its new Aug 2007 which matches with SK07HMO (X25UNH).
Volvo B10M WSU486 has now been re-registered back to P742YUM and withdrawn (presumably pending sale).
The two Mercedes Tourismo's have been re-registered JH09COM and JH59COM - I would guess these are BJ59OJA/B respectively but confirmation required on those.

RE: Jim Hughes of Sunderland/Birtley - Malarkey - 31 May 2016

JH07 COM was out on the 23 today - https://www.flickr.com/photos/adammalarkey/27306906241/

RE: JH Coaches of Birtley - tyresmoke - 05 Jun 2016

Confirmation on the Mercedes Tourismos...

JH09COM = BJ59OJA

JH59COM = BJ59OJB

Both are now in service in red livery with JH logos.

Another new addition to the fleet is Volvo B9R SG13PHN formerly of Parks of Hamilton

RE: JH Coaches of Birtley - Andreos1 - 19 Jun 2016

I didn't get a proper look, but a JH coach seemed to be having issues earlier today in Chester.

It was parked at the lights at South Burns, missed several cycles and seemed to be getting some attention.

By the time I was able to get over and do some proper nabbing, it was away.
