Arriva London has released a number of DAF DB250 / Plaxton President to Arriva NW. If its them, I sampled one last March on a night bus and was impressed at how well it performed.

(04 Sep 2013, 5:53 am)aureolin Something I've noticed from the ECML over the past two weeks, and I noticed we didn't really have a place for such things, hence the new thread.
On Earlsway at the North End of team valley - near the Royal Mail depot - there's what looks like a red and pale yellow vertical stripe liveried Olympian parked up. Anyone know anything about this or what it actually is?

(16 Mar 2014, 10:07 am)Andreos Constantopolous A blue merc coach, parked in the Galleries bus link between the walk in centre and the leisure centre.
Didn't get a good look at it to id it - although there were no company names on the vehicles.

Probably the most relevant thread to include it in.
The Sunderland AFC Delta, that tours the community - does anyone know where it is stabled overnight?
I have passed it several times on the A690 about 0830 near the Ramside Hall/West Rainton area, as it heads towards Sunderland.
Presumably, it is kept in the Durham area overnight, before heading to wherever its destination for the day.

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.
(03 Apr 2014, 5:42 pm)Andreos Constantopolous Ukar (what was Northern Rock) seem to have some sort of shuttle bus.
Saw it at Heworth not too long ago.
No operator branding, other than Ukar logos

I was down Newton Aycliffe way earlier and caught the tail end of a National (would recognise that roar anywhere) heading towards Darlo on the A167.
Didn't get a proper look - but it wasn't in 'local' colours.
Moments later, it went bombing back up in the opposite direction - again, didn't get a good look.
Not expecting to see it again, it took me by surprise, to see it heading back towards Darlo.
Anyone storing/restoring one in that area?
It sounded great.
@tyresmoke Ah, forgot about those. It looks like it could be the cream/white one. Not sure on engines, but it sounded like a raspy engined National, rather than the front engined ones.
@aureolin Hopefully NEB members will get back row seats on the bus and an invite to the wedding?
