Its white repaint should have been noted, but it's just been a case of me forgetting to add that it received a promotional livery for BuzzFare - and this will apply to all vehicles which received this livery.

(11 Oct 2014, 3:10 pm)Malarkey Hadn't thought about it from that standpoint, Although back then I would've only of been 10 Years Old or Younger for Photos of the Leyland Nationals etc, I was only 14 when Branding came into affect in 2006 although at the time I wasn't interested in Photography I certainly wouldn't of thought it would've been that Expensive to buy a Camera though, I would imagine quite a lot people would've still been using Disposable Cameras at that time.

If you need any Photographs Dan, feel free to use any of mine, I really don't mind and I have got around 300 GNE Related Photos to Upload from the past Month or so where I have been out Replacing the Old poor Quality ones that I deleted on Flickr from my First Camera, Still have around 150 Vehicles to Photograph which will include Several Trips out.

Before digital cameras came about photography was the expensive part of the hobby
- Camera: £50+  (my camera i used was a Canon EOS which cost £200)
- Film 24 or 36 exposures: £5+
- Developing: £8+
so you couldn't just point and shoot like you do know, you had to choose what bus you wanted to photo. If you had a good trip and used just 2 films of 24 it could of cost you anything over £20

Alot of photographers coming though in the past few years don't think how much it the cost was, no one would of thought of going out and taking between 100-200 photos in one day.

What is the history of the registration JCN 822?

It would seem to have been issued in 1959.

Was JCN 822 originally a Northern vehicle - and what was it?

I have seen a photograph taken in 1992 of a Leyland Tiger badged Plaxton (captioned as a Volvo B12M) in red Voyager livery with fleet number 7038.

Obviously, that wasn't the first vehicle to carry the registration (from 1959) - and not the last (with FN 7103 B9R Caetano Levante in National Express livery in 2013 and now FN 3962 B7TL Wright Eclipse).

Some of the plates came when buying out a smaller operator (and stock).
I think it was 340 GUP, came from Gypsy Queen (or something like that) and has stayed within the company ever since.

Only that it suggests that the original vehicle to which it was issued in 1959 might have been a 'Northern' one.

At some stage, decisions must have been made to retain that plate number, either because the vehicle remained in the fleet (possibly as trainer or recovery vehicle) and then retained for periodic use by newer vehicles.

Does GNE have a 'historian'?



I wasn't aware that 'Voyager' was a GNE / Northern brand.
