A new arrival for Hodgsons is Plaxton Elite HC14BUS which appears to be replacement for Panther HC10BUS which has gone to Plaxton's in part exchange. Another new arrival for the front line tour fleet... after the 63 plate Panther (in Newmarket livery) a few months ago!

I had HC61 BUS on my school trip to France last year. Hodgson's have done it for us for a few years now; there's also one to Germany and I think on the other school site (school's split into two sites) they do the trip to Spain and the one to Italy as well as a few humanities things like Geography field trips (e.g. Welsh Mining Towns). They really are a great company.

Hodgsons now have another Plaxton Panther 2 - 624BGY It is in fleet livery with no fleetnames on yet.
Judging by the seats it one of the ex Corporate Coaching 2 year old panthers that Plaxton are currently selling.

Most likely a 1 - don't think I's are allowed in regustrations because of the confusion it can cause with a 1.

Thanks! Didn't know it was even with Hodgsons until I read the legal lettering, as even when I was practically right in front of it, I couldn't tell it was on the 79A, it looks more like it says 71A from a distance.

Rather ironically, I had both the bus and the driver to and from school today! Had it for quite a while, at least last September, they have others rather similar including ex-Eddie Brown R55 EBT (in base livery without vinyls) as well as a 57-reg and a 60-reg, though this is the only plain white one! The worst bus would have to be Vario PO51 WNP...recently had a touch up repaint in the back corner after Mr Hodgson himself caught it turning around while on our way home...had the bus been a little longer I would have met an untimely end with a lamppost!!!

I was not aware they had such a high spec fleet and are quite local to me but never see any of their vehicles locally they must do a lot of Continental work and long distance runs.
