It was with PCL Travel for a little bit but unsure if it still is or not: https://flic.kr/p/Ww5jh4

Didn’t look to be in plain white so I wouldn’t think it’s still with them. It was still a bit dark when I seen it so I can’t be sure what colours it actually was in.

Mostly black with red on top? Think PCL repainted it although wasn't seen after that point

Yeah it seemed like that, not sure why it was along Sunderland Road if it’s still with PCL

Isn't that the one the Eden use for the ASDA bus? It's parked in the same place

Yes Eden still do Asda contract in Bishop.
Have seen a Just Go Holidays coach pass through the bus gate just after 3:30pm for the past 2 days. It's a Cheltenham firm so I'm assuming 5he vehicle has been recently purchased. Enterprise group, maybe?

https://www.coachholidays.com/operators/...o-holidays no idea, but they're listed as having local drop offs/collections

Isn't Just Go the new parent company of the revived National Holidays

Yes https://www.route-one.net/business-deals...-go-owner/ 
But they have nothing planned for this year? I'm sure I saw a plain white coach around the same time, last week (waiting for notsolittlun to get home from school)

No they have introduced a few holidays for 2020
Another school bus mystery: deep pink decker with University of Sunderland livery, on SL9, this afternoon. Didn't get close enough to photograph it as it disappeared into whitesmocks, presumably on its way to St Leonards.

Think that would be ALX400 SU53 UNV which is a JH coaches vehicle.

Definitely! Thank you.

There's always a few treats for spotters on the St Leonard's routes. Never seen that one before but there's a stagecoach Sunderland bus that usually comes over - a pretty unusual sight in Durham!

Would anyone know who this belongs to as the most recent photos I could find were with CLG Travel but it’s had its vinyls removed since then and can’t make out what the operator name says by the front doors.

Spotted a black Tridenty looking vehicle tonight on the A1231.

Ex Stagecoach. Hmmm it reminded me of a photo of a bus exactly like that parked up at Tyneside Heritage Vehicles
