45 is running again today apparently!

(07 Jan 2018, 10:59 pm)Cough41 So would this apply to compass Royston as well then ? If a proctors coach turns up or a eskvalley coach ?  On a school contract Awarded to compass Royston ? My daughter goes to Askham Bryan at york from Northallerton and liked the journey far better when a coach from north east bus and coach
turned up with a smoggy driver , because if Johnny Foreigner turns up from easing wold she won’t be going on it as he couldn’t tell the time or understand what a red traffic light , or maybe just didn’t want to ! 
If I had bought Stephenson’s I wouldn’t keep that name as anyone knows when you mention Stephenson’s  it’s that company who drove kids in to the water and nearly killed them
I’ve come to the conclusion that most company’s with white coaches are cowboys   Cowboy Kevin !

Good point re Compass Royston.

Yes the whole business has failed this evening, just two weeks after the North East business went and (some) drivers transferred to Easingwold!

Wrays has nothing to do with Procter, although I see he does have a dormant company registered in that name. It is part of York Pullman, owned by Tom James, which you'll see as the registered legal address on the side of the coach.
York Pullman also operate other businesses around the area including Dodsworths at Boroughbridge and Ideal Motor Services at Market Weighton.

The proper cowboy operating around the North has just gone out of business and this is indeed the very thread....

They also own Ingleby's who are based in York itself. Not sure who else Tom James owns.

As for Stephenson's, they were ok until about 2 years ago when it got new owners.

Well, the first bubble of the replacements has burst - Connexions have announced this evening that they will not be operating the 181 for the rest of the week. The County Council are in the process of tendering the contracted service work to start next week, including the 181, but Connexions aren't willing to run it at a lose for the rest of the week.

Incidentally, Transdev and Reliance have had their registrations approved today - Reliance's 31/31X will be running between Helmsley and Easingwold only while Transdev are operating the whole route. According to the CSV document, either as an error or for some unknown reason, Transdev's registration is for weekdays only - no Saturday journeys on their 31/31X if this does prove to be the case (the 29 is Monday to Saturday).

Long term contracts have been awarded and announced today.

The only change is that Transdev will take over operation of the 181 from Monday 19th February. In addition, they have announced the summer Sunday service will return but will be numbered 182 this year (was 180 last year).

Not sure if it has been noted here or elsewhere, but Transdev seem to be using ex-Keighley based vehicles on the 181. Still showing Keighley vinyls on the vehicles.

edit: Not sure how many they have, but an example of what I mentioned above.
