One we've noted yet from way back in August is the arrival of WA11AEB to the fleet. Completely forgot about it until I started going through my photos and uploading them to Flickr again - see photo here.

Former Lees coaches berkhoff volvo B12B FJ08BYB is in full DCC Black livery and has obviously been aquired by this fleet where it joins similar FJ05AOE also formerly with Lees coaches.

Unsure if it's new or not but I certainly haven't seen it before... SE02RUV I think was the reg - small sort of minibus type coach.

They've had that a while - used to be in white Durham Free School livery - not sure what it is now?

Any idea which Premier has been sold - and whether it's CMC Coaches or Enterprise Travel who have bought it? Seen yesterday morning running around Middlesbrough with the Durham City names taken off

PIL2163 maybe a retro addition but a sensible one. Volvo B10M's go on forever, it has van hool bodywork that lasts ages and was upseated in its time at lees to 70 seats as was VIL. Only thing they both need is a fresh coat of paint.

The Lightfoots have sold out to Mr Collin and no longer run the business. The Lee family have also sold out of Lee's Coaches. However Malcolm Lee remains a director and runs the company day to day.
