I've seen the Solo, it seems to have a blue (what I can describe as Travelsure blue) patch on the rear part of the roof. Couldn't see the reg due to condensation.
Travelsure seems to allocate the same vehicles to services, so whatever route serves Craster and Belford if anyone wants to look for it.
I've seen 3 assorted Travelsure buses in Alnwick bus station today. Not one has had working side or rear number/ destination displays and one bus still has yellow destination boards propped up in the front window. One of which being HX53 ODH.

One of their Solo's always has it now, YN09LCM.
I'm also pleased to announce that their newest addition, the White Solo is MX10DXP from Scotland I think.

Yep, that's the one. Must just be doing the Berwick-Scotland runs and the odd 418 service now and again.
Travelsure have another new acquisition it would appear, a Solo M810 YJ56WTZ from Holmeswood Coaches. It's been doing the 418 today still in their livery.

Holmeswood Coaches: YJ56WTZ by

In the window there is a notice saying "ON LOAN TO TRAVELSURE COACHES LTD" with the legal address also on the piece of paper next to the door. The Holmeswood legal address is still on display next to the door.
So I'm guessing it's a loan? Not sure...

Could well be a loan from BASE, Holmeswood's dealership.

Ah admittedly I didn't notice that part, thanks for clearing that up!
Besides MX10DXP being a new addition to Travelsure as I reported some months ago, its sister vehicle MX10DXS has also joined the fleet, seen doing the 472 today also in plain white livery.

Oh well that explains its lack of appearances in Alnwick, evidently its been stuck doing the Berwick runs!
According to their Twitter page Travelsure have a new coach, a 3 axled Mercedes model. The reg number looks like BJ16 KYG and its supposedly the 1st of 3 they have coming.

Will be a Mercedes Benz Tourismo 15M if its 3 axled.
Some updates on the coach fleet...
Setra KIB545 has reverted to BX56VUM, suggesting it may be for sale?
Setra 697BYU appears to have left the fleet - this plate is now on a Javelin which must be a new addition??
Iveco 709LAU has been re-registered to ???
BMC Falcon BX55NYG has been scrapped.
