RE: PCL Travel - GuyParkRoyal - 29 Mar 2019 Peter Cowell has applied for a new operators licence in the name of Rural Link. PB2021997 SN rural link ltd Director(s): peter cowell 43, CAMERON ROAD, PRUDHOE, NE425AJ Operating Centre: UNIT 5B, RYTON INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, NEWBURN BRIDGE ROAD, RYTON, NE21 4SQ Authorisation: 3 vehicle(s) Transport Manager(s): peter cowell RE: PCL Travel - S830OFT - 29 Mar 2019 (29 Mar 2019, 11:23 am)GuyParkRoyal Peter Cowell has applied for a new operators licence in the name of Rural Link. Considering that is his company's brand it seems very unusual to change his company name to that, although he is well known for his cowboy operation within Northumberland, and the use of vehicles that are well (unroadworthy). I do hope this company is axed soon, although I'm sure he will find a way to return... RE: PCL Travel - LeeCalder - 29 Mar 2019 I believe that PCL were required to use the 'Rural Link' branding by NCC. RE: PCL Travel - Tyne_Traveller - 05 Apr 2019 Not PCL Travel in this instance but they're mentioned in this article regarding Johnson's of Mickley. https://www.route-one.net/articles/Legal/Licence_cut_and_ban_as_TM_for_Stocksfield_operator_Raymond_Johnson RE: PCL Travel - GNE6312 - 19 Apr 2019 PCL should get some double deckers RE: PCL Travel - NewcastleOne - 19 Apr 2019 (19 Apr 2019, 7:53 am)GNE6312 PCL should get some double deckersWhy???

Also for a company as small as PCL, I can't see them investing in Double Decker vehicles, when the cost is so high, this is a recipe for disaster...

I can't help but think this is a belated April fool. Charles RE: PCL Travel - Cobalt271 - 19 Apr 2019 (19 Apr 2019, 1:50 pm)GNE6312 NT1 PCL can't even run the services they have let alone anything as ambitious as this. Please mark speculation as such in the future! RE: PCL Travel - omnicity4659 - 22 Apr 2019 With a bit of marketing, a better operator and stopping at Alnwick bus station (for accessibility and connections) and extending to Alnmouth (for ECML and coast), it could work you know... RE: PCL Travel - S830OFT - 27 Apr 2019 06 plate Renault was on the 15s today with garden bin stickers used for the route number. It's strange how PCL can use Primos on Town services, but deploy this to Rural services. RE: PCL Travel - Jimmi - 02 May 2019 (27 Apr 2019, 6:32 pm)S830OFT 06 plate Renault was on the 15s today with garden bin stickers used for the route number. It's just vinyls rather than garden bin stickers. Discovered their latest ploy yesterday, they are now on some journeys at least operating services A1 & 15 as one service, got on what I assumed was the 15 in Alnwick Bus Station yesterday afternoon and I found myself being taken to Alnwick Sainsburys, down the A1 and through some villages before eventually ending up in Longframlington which is where the A1 terminates and then onto Rothbury from there PCL Travel: WX06UYP by Matthew Jimmison, on Flickr RE: PCL Travel - S830OFT - 02 May 2019 (02 May 2019, 12:35 pm)Jimmi It's just vinyls rather than garden bin stickers. That should be reported to the traffic commissioner as they are as a result missing out Clayport Street, Edlingham and Cragside... RE: PCL Travel - S830OFT - 02 May 2019 Little Suggestion for PCL... A1: Withdrawn 406: Re-introduced. This will interwork with 15 alike Spirit Buses service.
