Looks like Tiger B592XWW is withdrawn as it is unlicensed since Nov 2013. I am told the old Volvo wearing ALL173Y was sold to Primrose but haven't found a new reg for that yet, the plate ALL173Y is now on Caetano CL51LEE, which is repainted into white fleet livery.

lees van hool previously registered ALL173Y is now registered H912EFT and is in Lees generic white livery. this will be why no new reg exists for the coach. Had a makeover when repainted and looks very smart.
Guessing some of the private registrations a re now with the lees family on a private basis because the older coaches haven't regained private registrations when repainted. This may be to do with the businessman who brought into Lees and Durham city coaches. Both families seem to run the respective businesses still though so think he is a big shareholder in both companies.

Number plate ALL1 73Y is still on Lees Coach I noticed it this afternoon while the coach was setting down students at the bus stop outside of Coral's in Chester le Street at 15.50. I'm not sure which coach it is as I only got a quick look at the rear of the coach which was in Lees livery.

I regularly see a pair (or in some cases, a trio) of Lee's coaches on school work in Chester at around 8:00 in the morning - not sure for which school though.

All the kids seem to wear non-uniform. I'm really not sure - but it seems to head down Ropery Lane then turn into the A167 in the direction of Durham. If the school is anywhere, it'll be in Durham. Probably is St. Leonard's Smile

Lee's have lost another coach to a fire, on the M1 yesterday. Looks like the Temsa Safari from the picture I've seen but could be wrong

It was the Jonckheere SUI8195 that they bought from Tees Valley. It caught fire not long after.
