I find it a coincidence that last Sunday Tyresmoke posted on the Jim Hughes thread that:

Jim Hughes are moving depot. 32 vehicles on the new authorisation too... Expansion plans are rife it would seem!

Yeah it would be Smile
But I'm not sure Weardale would run light from Crook to Blaydon, or Scarlet Band from Carnforth to Blaydon?
Might see a company like Phoenix or Compass get them but I'm not sure.

I'm not sure if Weardale have an out station or use space in someone elses depot as I often see vehicles coming up past Batleys NIS.

Weardale have a base somewhere in Birtley for the low floor deckers used on their Nexus school contracts. In addition, they also have a depot at Stanhope (as you enter the town, with a petrol station attached) from where the part of the 101 and Consett runs are operated from.

Yeah, there has been a Weardale depot based in Weardale for donkeys years Wink.
They only moved into Crook a few years back.

Not sure about it being in Birtley, but judging by the vehicles using the a693 quite a bit, it mustn't be too far.

The Weardale buses using the A693 will be returning to their depot in Consett where they occupy the Taylors Building on The Elddis Transport Site. Weardale were advertising for School Bus drivers based at Consett back in 2012 and at that time they had an agreement to operate 8 buses and store up to 15 buses on SORN at that site.

Classic had five of their DAF DB250/Alexander ALX400s out on Sunderland University shuttles today. 'Tis sad not being able to photograph the Megadekka (previous allocation), though I must admit that even the ALX400s provided a greater capacity than necessary...

I also note that T320FGN and T421GGO have been repainted out of Arriva London livery and into TGM Group livery - I assume T318FGN has also received the same treatment.
