I wonder what vehicles they will use for this and the 15/16 routes.
Good luck to them, however it's a shame that Spirit couldn't make it work.
Apart from the obvious that Spirit used a very modern newish bus, of which probably cost lots of money to buy or lease, whereas PCL Travel buses tend to be older vehicles, I wonder how PCL will make ends meet. It will interesting to see/understand the difference in the operating costs. Also PCL have the added lost mileage travelling up from their depot near Ryton. Unless of course they intend to keep a vehicle up in the Rothbury area.
RE: PCL Travel - Charles41 - 01 Nov 2016
The M1 timetable looks quite innovative, incorporating a through service from Morpeth to Rothbury via Netherwitton and Scots Gap. Interestingly enough Tower Transit tried this strategy in the early 1980s.
I'll definitely try out the Netherwitton route.

At an educated guess I'd say it will be the Primo for the M1 and one of the Darts on 15/16. I'll be in Rothbury to photograph both services on the first day.

Not sure what they'll do on a Tuesday when there should be a Dart on the 885, S1 should be the branded Dart, then you need a bus for the 15/16 and another for the M1, unless more buses have been acquired that we don't know about. Think I'm going to do Tuesday and have a ride on the 15/16 then get the M1 to Morpeth.

don't know if it is true or not but the driver of the S1 yesterday (31/10/16) said that MX14 FUG is due to go to PCL. there should be another dart due soon from ensign
RE: PCL Travel - omnicity4659 - 01 Nov 2016
PCL Travel have acquired LDV MH06 WCU from The Eden.

That will not happen, Spirit do not own MX14FUG so they are not free to just sell it on.
