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...

According to a comment made on my Flickr last night, YJ56WTZ was provided by the insurance company to cover for Mercedes Sprinter MX06XEL which is currently in Gardiner's of Spennymoor after receiving accident damage in Lowick. It has now been returned to Holmeswood Coaches.

Returned on May 12th, their newest Slimline Solo entered service a week later.

By what I can gather EU06 KOW is at the same place as MX54 FWF.

They haven't announced any plans, not that I'm surprised. Ellingham is such a small village, I'm surprised it's commercially viable!

By the looks of things there maybe some competition between arriva and travelsure

This is Travelsure competing with Arriva. If this gets out of hand I can see Arriva withdrawing the mutual ticket acceptance.
