I've recently put a photo on my Flickr of a coach, WU58 DYX, which was photographed at the MetroCentre a few weeks back. There was no legal lettering, and from what I can see, there is only one photo of it on Flickr, which is no help at all.

I'm guessing it may be MOD?

I passed a Badgerline coach on the A19 last night.
Didn't get a proper look as it was heading in the opposite direction.

Looking online, there are two preserved coaches kicking about.

One for Seaburn?

Anyone know who owns JH06 WEH its a silver minibus what looked to be similar to Jim Hughes' 6963 MW. Couldn't see it properly as I was on a bus going in the opposite direction. Was in South Shields around 1 hour ago.

Could well be Harkers, a lot of their vehicle have registrations with WEH in them. Its the owner's initials.

Looks like a cherished registration, the vehicle was registered August this year.

No idea about the owner though.

This has been doing school runs through our village, this week. A recent acquisition by Pygalls, or someone else? Cochrane's maybe? Bell's is another possibility

Saw a different one, last week, but at a different time - a black H reg DAF single decker. It's quite unusual, but unfortunately I can't remember the exact registration and I've not been able to find a picture of it or any reference to it, from the description.

Thanks for that, the front sticker is obvious perhaps if I'd have done more digging I could have figured it out.

It should now be at Saltmeadows for repaint, 3654 (C654LJR). Now owned by LimoBus North East, will be kitted out as a mobile coffee shop for his events fleet.

Must have been where it was heading to (was going in the general direction of Saltmeadows).

Sounded great. Looked awful. Hopefully the work will just be cosmetic.

Saw an ELC bodied decker of some sort earlier. It's blind had been boarded up and had a permanent '752' applied. 

I was headed in the opposite direction, so didn't really get a proper look.

The reg I scribbled down was S857 OGX. That doesn't tally with anything online unfortunately.
