Re: RE: PYGALLS COACHES - Dan - 26 Jul 2014
(25 Jul 2014, 10:12 pm)Banksy66 I don't see in the fleet list listed CN09JCJ is this still with pygalls??Our independent fleet lists are still a work in progress, with small progress being made in addition to other projects.
If a vehicle is not included in the fleet list, it's likely to be down to the fact it wasn't in the fleet prior to December 2013, when Scott last updated the fleet lists on his website (which we've copied onto here and later edited to match present day fleet status).
PYGALLS COACHES - cbma06 - 26 Jul 2014

Looked further back on here...
Unit 12/13, Alexandra Business Park, Riverside South, Sunderland, SR4 6UG
That's the one in Sunderland, and Gary, I believe it's all private and you can't get any where near for photographs.

They've applied for a new licence too.

(29 Dec 2013, 6:23 pm)NEBCD Malarkey I believe I may of got the First photo of J961 TBW on Boxing Day, I certainly don't recall it being Mentioned as it had Reportedly joined Pygalls way back in January.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/adammalarkey/11567916296/
J961 TBW has quite few former owners, It started it's life Overseas in China working for Chinese Operator (China and Lightpower), it then moved back over to the UK where it was Built and Joined the Kinches of Minety Fleet, where it Operated Scholars Services in Glouchester, In December 2012 Kinches lost all there Scholars Contracts and all there Vehicles were Withdrawn, I would think this was Withdrawn and Sold to Mortons of Little London, Mortons are Based in the Hants and Dorset Area, and they did them up and sold them on, With J961 TBW being Sold to Pygalls. Nevertheless a Mystery Solved.
Now for sale:

Went to Newcastle to pick parents up from the Airport this afternoon and had a spare half hour so had a quick drive around some independents in Peterlee. Didn't go into any yards (most of them were locked up) but seen from the outside at Pygalls were F114TML, CN09JCJ, K1PYG, K5PYG (Neoplan), K794OTC, P167ANR, and Solo Y293PDN (still branded for the Castle Shuttle on Holy Island). Also another yellow coach was hidden behind K794OTC. No sign of any others but I think they may still have another yard in Sunderland?

pygalls coaches have purchased 2 new optare solo SR for a new service that is due to start in september but dont quote me on it as the driver did say that it is up to pygalls coaches to decide if they want to run the service or not

Would be nice to see Pygall's Coaches return to the streets, offering public services again.
Sadly their last commercial ventures didn't work out amazingly well.

X27.
Was a shame that it didn't work out too well. Think the final nail in the coffin was changing the 230 route to run to Seaham at least when it went to Sunderland it often had at least a few passengers on-board whereas every time I saw it when the route was changed it carried fresh air around the Dalton Park area.
