(11 Apr 2014, 9:28 pm)Andreos1 Probably some bloke running it from an estate somewhere in Middlesbrough, but saw a Karaoke mini bus tonight.

M reg Merc, possibly a Patient Transport vehicle in its past life.

Lambrini, cheap perfume, VPL's and tacky birthday/hen party badges galore behind the tinted windows I fear.


Kept in Teesville I think. Was out the other night. Blue lights on the front.

orange Lynx spotted in Middlesbrough last week, reg started with G300, looked to have schoolkids on. Looked pretty tidy from what I saw, anybody any ideas?

Whoah! Was never a massive fan, but pleased to see one in such good condition, still in service

When I was at Heworth in May, there was a white Mercedes step-entrance vehicle (looks new, can't find pic because I left my SD card at tuition). When I zoomed into the legals I could make out "Admiral Way, Sunderland". It had an advert on the side.

About 1630 in Coxhoe on Wednesday afternoon, a yellow G reg Olympian came down from Quarrington Hill direction, turning left at the lights towards Bowburn.

No operator livery at all.

Possibly Volvo B10M G627BPH of Pygalls? That was all yellow

Possibly the wrong thread - not sure of the most suitable one, but there was a McGills Enviro on the A1 at Catterick, heading North this morning.

Only saw it through rear view mirror as I was heading south, so no idea who was at the wheel or what was on the display.

Anyone have any ideas?

My tutor apparently saw a Mercedes Vario/Wright StreetLite/Optare Solo (after searching through NEB's fleet lists, they were the types of bus that she thought looked like the bus/coach that she saw) with "Pixie" in blue lettering. She saw it (apparently) at the Wansbeck Hospital roundabout (of which the 1 turns around and the X21 uses).

Thanks.

One of my mates saw a 15 plate one (on trade plates) in Middlesbrough yesterday morning, presumably on delivery.

From Scarborough?

Never noticed any trade plates on the one I saw, but the delivery line was the only explanation I could think of.

What looks like an ECW Leyland Olympian, parked up against a unit - facing the railway line in the Stockton area.

It is in the unit next to Warburtons on Yarm Road.

Noticed it a few times.

Was surprised to see an Optare Vecta passing over the Millburngate bridge this evening - M10DVS.

Has someone taken it into preservation?
