A thread on Henry Coppers Coaches as there isn't one

They are called Henry Cooper, not Henry Coppers. Henry Cooper running the 49 has already been posted.
Have you checked in the correct part of the forum?

There is already a thread for Henry Cooper in the Northumberland part of the forum.
With them being based in Northumberland. Not Tyne & Wear.

Mind in fairness it's in the wrong forum. Henry Cooper is based at Annitsford which is in Tyne and Wear.

Coopers Tourmaster which is in Bedlington is the Northumberland one.

To be honest, I was picturing the depot and thought it was on the south side of the Moor farm roundabout. So within T&W.
However, when I looked on the website, they give their address as Cramlington - which is in Northumberland. https://www.henrycoopercoaches.com/contact
Guessing it is one of those 'right on the border' controversial type addresses, that use the closest post town in the address, which is often in another county.

Yeah it will be, all the villages around Seaton Valley / Annitsford / Dudley are all over the place. Dudley, Annitsford and Burradon are all NE23 which are Northumberland but they're in North Tyneside, Seaton Delaval, New Hartley and Seaton Sluice are all NE25/NE26 and are all Tyne and Wear but they're all Northumberland.

It's where I'm from. Phone numbers are a mess aswell as they're all 0191 which is the Tyneside number rather than 01670 which is SE Northumberland for the Seaton Valley villages.
Annitsford is in North Tyneside according to the Ordinance Survey election map, placing Henry Cooper in Tyne and Wear.

The border with Northumberland is the A189, so literally the back fence of the depot.
I thought this thread was about Henry Coppers, not Henry Coopers. If so, then no prior thread exists in any part of the forum.

I quite like Henry Coppers to be fair. Cheap fares of only 1p or 2p and a special discount available for police personnel. The only downside is that they don't accept silver or gold coins.
Mods: bit work for you.
The existing thread in the Northumberland part of the forum needs to be moved to the Tyne & Wear part of the forum and merging with this one. 
Think we all need to read up on County Council border areas in the mean time so that lessons are learned and we don't make the mistake again.

Done! I had thought it was in Northumberland, but looking at the County boundaries, it falls just inside of Tyne and Wear  Smile

Henry Coppers might be based in Northumberland though.
Henry Coopers operated the Connector Shuttle between Concord and the Nightingale for most (if not all) of the day today, using OBR297

Looks like they only cover services during the weekend as I'm yet to see them during the week

They provided two ‘hot spare’ vehicles at Gateshead on Wednesday evening for Go North East while the match was on.
