RE: PCL Travel - Dan - 10 Jun 2014 (24 Jan 2014, 12:48 pm)tyresmoke Would appear Dart W208DNO is with City Sprinter in Glasgow. W208DNO is now with Meridian Bus in Northampton. RE: PCL Travel - tyresmoke - 02 Aug 2015 Van Hool BAZ7053 has been acquired from Priory Coaches. I expect they've had it a while but nobody seems to report their fleet very often so they must hide quite well! If anyone can have a look for me, they've got two registered yards and 11 o-licences...

Indeed I went to photo the PM 808 on Monday and a Waltons Vario turned up then too.

PCL are now using a Mercedes Sprinter Mellor PN06 FJC on their NCC contract work. This vehicle was recently with The Eden of West Auckland. https://www.flickr.com/photos/gpr_bus_photos/20054959044/in/dateposted-public/ RE: PCL Travel - Jimmi - 24 Sep 2015 So much for low floor operation - this was on the 808 last night. Forgive me for the poor quality photo. RE: PCL Travel - DanPicken - 24 Sep 2015 (24 Sep 2015, 4:24 pm)Jimmi So much for low floor operation - this was on the 808 last night. Gne would of been better off having the 808. RE: PCL Travel - NK53 TKT - 24 Sep 2015 (24 Sep 2015, 4:24 pm)Jimmi So much for low floor operation - this was on the 808 last night. Oh dear!!!!

The 808 to let you know is always crammed, that will not work RE: PCL Travel - NK53 TKT - 24 Sep 2015 (24 Sep 2015, 4:33 pm)Jimmi This is what should be on the 808, plus their other services.Oh how happy I am I don't live in Belsay or Otterburn RE: PCL Travel - DanPicken - 24 Sep 2015 (24 Sep 2015, 4:34 pm)NK53 TKT The 808 to let you know is always crammed, that will not work THey shouldn't of given GCT the ALX300. RE: PCL Travel - Jimmi - 24 Sep 2015 (24 Sep 2015, 4:34 pm)NK53 TKT The 808 to let you know is always crammed, that will not work There was about five people on it last night and not many more when I photographed the Sprinter which I think can seat about sixteen passengers. RE: PCL Travel - Dan - 24 Sep 2015 (24 Sep 2015, 4:33 pm)Jimmi This is what should be on the 808, plus their other services. This has been out and about in the Bensham area the past few days. Weardale have had an unusually common presence in the Bensham area too over the past few days. I've seen one of their Solos three times today - morning, noon and evening.

Well that is because everybody now uses the 131 or works from home because they don't want to spend an hour on a minibus/van! RE: PCL Travel - NK53 TKT - 03 Oct 2015 Last night a Van Hool Ailze was on the 808 RE: PCL Travel - Charles41 - 06 Oct 2015 I visited the garage of PCL Travel yesterday afternoon. Their current fleet is shown below: BAZ7053 Volvo B10M-60 Van Hool C53F 1990 Priory Coach & Bus Limited, North Shields 103 2015 Formerly G853RNC RIL5885 Mercedes Benz 709D Advanced Vehicle Builders B25F 1994 Grahams Motor Services Limited, West Auckland M12 2015 Formerly M679RAJ PN06FJC Mercedes Benz 616CDI Mellor B15L 2006 Grahams Motor Services Limited, West Auckland 2015 They also currently have Mercedes Benz 0814D MX54KKY on loan from Luxury Coach Travel Limited (Waltons). Their staff informed me that the Bellingham to Kielder service is no longer running due to low passenger numbers. I also visited Snaiths who still have a small yard on the opposite side of Tyne to PCL at Lemington. There were 3 vehicles present, the yard is clearly visible from the private lane that runs past it’s boundary. I tried looking for Maynard’s new yard at Newburn but could not locate this despite walking the entire length of the industrial estate. Please could PCL’s fleetlist be updated.

RE: PCL Travel - NK53 TKT - 24 Oct 2015 Travelling on the 79 on Wednesday to sample it, will try to take some pics of the illusive minibus |
