(17 Feb 2019, 2:05 am)TEN 6083 Just been looking on the DVLA website and another one of their vehicles, GN06 UEK has had no MOT since 31st May 2016.

KX58 LJA has a SORN in place, not sure if it’s recent though as I took a photo of it on the 885 on 15th January.

These people can't be real! 


They look like models! 

I would have thought the fella listed on Companies House would have had his mug shot on the site.

It just doesn't seem to add up!

(20 Feb 2019, 8:06 pm)S830OFT What do PCL use on the 15/16? Because everytime I go to Northumberland I rarely see those services...
Also can anybody confirm which PCL buses were destroyed in the fire?

(20 Feb 2019, 8:50 pm)Cobalt271 Versa YJ13HHW was one of them, a lot of its rear end is burnt out.

(24 Feb 2019, 9:51 pm)S830OFT The following routes haven't been operating recently, despite being advertised:
A1: Alnwick - Longframlington 
S1A: Morpeth to Stannington 
M1: Morpeth to Thropton. 

I take it these are commercial services, so even if you complained to the council nothing would be done...

(25 Feb 2019, 6:32 pm)GuyParkRoyal Yes all of these services are still registered including the Sunday one to Metrocentre.  If you would like to complain about this it should be raised with the Traffic Commissioner on the grounds of failing to operate a registered service. Contact the Traffic Commissioners Office help line on 0300 123 9000 and they should be able to help you.

Should you raise a complaint the operation of the service will be looked into and any claims for BSOG on these ghost services could also be reviewed.

This company is a shambles. I'm surprised that no more services have been lost to other operators, following the re-allocation of services 470 and 473 to Glen Valley. Let's just hope...

(27 Feb 2019, 11:24 pm)S830OFT The owner has confirmed on his social media that if they didn't have all the mindless acts of vandalism they may still have been operating the Wooler Services. He goes on to say they felt unsafe to continue operating following the fire damage to one of their buses which was the final straw for them.
