Van Hool BAZ7053 has been acquired from Priory Coaches. I expect they've had it a while but nobody seems to report their fleet very often so they must hide quite well!
If anyone can have a look for me, they've got two registered yards and 11 o-licences...

It appears that PCL have not yet acquired a suitable vehicle for their new NCC contract work as the 808 and 613 were being served by a Walton's Luxury Travel, Vario yesterday.

So much for low floor operation - this was on the 808 last night.

(24 Sep 2015, 4:37 pm)Jimmi There was about five people on it last night and not many more when I photographed the Sprinter which I think can seat about sixteen passengers.
I visited the garage of PCL Travel yesterday afternoon. Their current fleet is shown below:
BAZ7053 Volvo B10M-60 Van Hool C53F 1990 Priory Coach & Bus Limited, North Shields 103 2015 Formerly G853RNC
RIL5885 Mercedes Benz 709D Advanced Vehicle Builders B25F 1994 Grahams Motor Services Limited, West Auckland M12 2015 Formerly M679RAJ
PN06FJC Mercedes Benz 616CDI Mellor B15L 2006 Grahams Motor Services Limited, West Auckland 2015
They also currently have Mercedes Benz 0814D MX54KKY on loan from Luxury Coach Travel Limited (Waltons). Their staff informed me that the Bellingham to Kielder service is no longer running due to low passenger numbers.
I also visited Snaiths who still have a small yard on the opposite side of Tyne to PCL at Lemington. There were 3 vehicles present, the yard is clearly visible from the private lane that runs past it’s boundary. I tried looking for Maynard’s new yard at Newburn but could not locate this despite walking the entire length of the industrial estate.
Please could PCL’s fleetlist be updated.
