Well, the official Nexus timetable says Stanley Travel at the top, as seen here. So I'm not sure which timetable you're looking at!

I might be wrong, but it's probably a Nexus mistake when they come around to editing the timetables.

He's probably looking at a printed timetable. It does take time for the revised copies to circulate.

Hi they bought the bus business of ERB Services limited in roughly 2011. The Brown family still own the car repair business. I don't think any vehicles were purchased. The yard is not that big and is shared with Community Transport who have about 8 minibuses and the Brown's car repair business.

I don't know if its been mentioned before (or whether it something that has always been present), but when following R2 STX up Busty Bank earlier today I noticed it had a fleet number, 6025.

I also passed a decker in Burnopfield with the fleet number 6021.

Is this a new thing?

Having the fleet numbers stuck on the vehicles themselves is, but the fleet number system itself isn't.

What will be used

I'd have a guess at Enviro 200 MH07 EPY or the Solo that isn't on the Cathedral Bus in Durham.

Could use M2/M3 STX then - the Transits.

They look to be using something along those lines, providing that it was actually on the 762.

Is this seeing signs that it may be leaving the fleet

Most likely I would say.
Does the former GNE via Weardale Northern Counties/Volvo see much use or is it a spare bus used as and when needed.
