Well we haven't got a thread for these yet so thought I may as well start one...

Just overtaken EOS 891HUO on the M62 which is in use as the team coach for Blyth Spartans today, they've been at FC United of Manchester.

I think N655EWJ is new in at Lee's? Was on Northern Rail replacement duties today - think I prefer what Whitestar Travel were offering though...

Yes I reckon that's new with them Dan... They had Mistral ELZ3700 at the match at Hull today which I reckon is also new. Also there was ALL173Y now on a Caetano Enigma (which used to be CL51LEE I believe, also repainted into white livery) and silver FJ58LSF.

Don't think so. Looks like they have spent a bit on it and looks like new now.
Plaxton bodied Volvo B10M SUI4581 has been registered back to E795WNW. Not sure if it is still with Lees as not been seen for a few weeks. Either gone for repaint or sold? Crest bodied Mercedes W992VGU is now registered SUI4581.

Cheers that would make sense! Forgot about that fire. Good news about the new addition too! Any idea if it'll be Silver Service like the two 12 plates?

From what I was told last spring, it is on long term loan from Lee's to Durham City, as there is some co-operation between the two operators.

Not sure if it is still there, but a white Lees coach has been parked up in The Beehive car park (down Newbottle bank), since at least yesterday morning.

Hi, I know FJ08BYB is back in plain white lees now and is not on Just Go anymore this happened a few month back. FJ58LSF had a leger sticker on the top of the windscreen for ages then i have seen a picture last month with a just go sticker on the windscreen. They should be getting a new just go coach soon wonder if the 9700 will be on just go till then. As for FJ05AOE I did hear that it went in part ex for YJ13GZZ and Durham City got it off arriva something like that anyway. The replacement for the 9700 is going to be in a plain colour i would think.

Another aquisition not noted is LUI7648 a van hool volvo B10M in lees white think it is C57F. Certainley was with its previous operator Snowdons. Think this and the other van hool N655EWJ have possibly replaced the plaxton Paramount tiger and volvo B10M.
