Judging by recent additions I would say more converted ex London deckers.

Everything seems to link up as its new Aug 2007 which matches with SK07HMO (X25UNH).
Volvo B10M WSU486 has now been re-registered back to P742YUM and withdrawn (presumably pending sale).
The two Mercedes Tourismo's have been re-registered JH09COM and JH59COM - I would guess these are BJ59OJA/B respectively but confirmation required on those.
RE: Jim Hughes of Sunderland/Birtley - Malarkey - 31 May 2016
JH07 COM was out on the 23 today - https://www.flickr.com/photos/adammalarkey/27306906241/
RE: JH Coaches of Birtley - tyresmoke - 05 Jun 2016
Confirmation on the Mercedes Tourismos...
JH09COM = BJ59OJA
JH59COM = BJ59OJB
Both are now in service in red livery with JH logos.
Another new addition to the fleet is Volvo B9R SG13PHN formerly of Parks of Hamilton

RE: JH Coaches of Birtley - Andreos1 - 19 Jun 2016
I didn't get a proper look, but a JH coach seemed to be having issues earlier today in Chester.
It was parked at the lights at South Burns, missed several cycles and seemed to be getting some attention.
By the time I was able to get over and do some proper nabbing, it was away.

Yes it is, it is now generally the E200, but the Primo occasionally pops up.

The E200 is out on the 23 during the School Holiday period then should revert back to the Primo after 6th September.

Even during school terms, the E200 tends to pop up more than the Primo, as it works the 90 after the 23.
RE: JH Coaches of Birtley - Brian13 - 16 Aug 2016
LR52 KVO on the 900 today

The JH run is allocated the E200, It runs off the 23.

A earlier post by Guy Park Royal says that during the holidays the E200 should be allocated to the 23, With the service reverting to the Primo when School's Start again.
So to see the Primo today was quite rare.
Edit here's the post

Primo was on the 90. Got on it at metrocentre 15 minutes late and he absolutely floored it around swalwell.

It's a JH bus, the only independents operating around there are JH and Stanley, an possibly GCT.
RE: JH Coaches of Birtley - tyresmoke - 09 Oct 2016
Two new Tridents in the fleet are KV02URU and KV02USO (as mentioned above).
All of the DAF ALX400 double decks have been sold.
Levante FN06FMA and FH06EBM have been sold to Falkland Islands Tours & Travel. FJ57KHP/KHR haven't turned up anywhere else yet but I've removed them from the fleetlist anyway.

I'm guessing they've lost the National Express contracts.
