These have the Sainsburys bus from Wrekenton and had a purple MPD on it.

I'd never heard of them. Have they had the contract long?

I think they've had the contract for a couple of months or so now. I regularly see a pink/black/white Plaxton Pointer 2 (V383 SVV), acquired from Blue Diamond, still in the Touchwood Connection livery minus the livery logos.

They also have another Plaxton Pointer 2, W208 DNO, which still carries the Rotala Central Connect livery, again minus company names/logos.

Thanks to tyresmoke who solved the mystery on the "North East Independents" Facebook group - PCL Travel appear to be selling ex-Astro T313JWA.

Seen on the Team Valley Sainsbury's shuttle today is an ALX200 that looks as if it's in a debranded McGill's livery. Never managed to get ID

Providing PCL Travel haven't retrieved more than one, this was P363DSA as can be seen here.

Is a similar livery I give you that. Quite decent little thing, sounded great. Fantastic to see a B6 still in action.

Ex-31363 of Stagecoach, left the group in 2011 for Heartlands under the reg of HSV658.

Just doing a bit of research into these guys and they seem to have a number of older coaches too.
Does anyone know if they still have V383SVV?

(04 Dec 2013, 10:40 am)BusFanPrudhoe I have compilled a fleet list on my website for PCL. It can be found at http://www.sco1996.comxa.com (use the Fleet Lists sub menu). I haven't come across anything on V383 SVV.

Just to keep you up to date...
P363DSC is a Volvo B6BLE, PLZ3055 I believe (from what I can find) got sold... as for PAZ2531, this is how it ended up: http://www.flickr.com/photos/33944268@N07/4489608359/

That should (according to my list) give you P363, W208, CCZ6058 and PUI9499 operational.
