What's happening with the Rural Link there R222LOT has a tiny sticker stating Rural Link. Thought all there buses would go in the Green Livery.

PCL Travel didn't lose it - they threw the contract in at the weekend.
Go North East have stepped in to provide the services. Should be a fleet livery Scania L94 after Christmas, and a dual-door B7TL from the Special Events fleet until then.

Is Optare Excel Y249DRC still in use?
Tried to work out the allocations...
T1: 58 plate primo
S1: 08 plate primo
15/16: 06 plate solo
808/613/885: R222LOT
M1/A1: 56 plate Volkawagen
470/473: 2x Optare Versas
From this how many buses would be spare?
Also it's strange at how PCL have had no rare allocations on the 470/473.

It's currently based at Wooler, noted it there just over a week ago. I assume it's covering the former Glen Valley routes.

That's intresting, must suggest if a versa is off the excel must cover, it would be some ride that! Wonder if PCL share the premises with Glen Valley?

Nah PCL keep their vehicles at the Glendale Business Park. You can get an OK view of the yard from the main road.

At least they are improving their fleet a bit.

Wouldn't mind a ride on it, the London spec ones have ZF boxes.

Would not say the same about tonight's offering on the 808 which was Ford Transit ND05XAV - L&B Mini Coaches liveried (no photo as the forum won't add it as a attachment).

The transit would appear to be on loan from the Clydesdale family. I noted it with them last week. The MAN would appear to be a hire vehicle rather than a purchase. There's no change of keeper registered.
