GIB6197 is now on a plain white Plaxton Panther MK1.

RE: Weardale - BUSFAN - 15 May 2016

Weardale have either been getting another Neoplan Tourliner or have put MA12 ADV back into Insight Vacations livery the T reg Scania Irizar has been sold to J&C Coaches Newton Aycliffe and i think Dennis Javelin P66 WMS has left the fleet.

Most have done a deal with J&C for these two and Weardale got a 08 Mercedes in part ex do J&C still have the Plaxton Paramount B1OM they got off Weardale a few years ago.

RE: Weardale - tyresmoke - 15 May 2016

Cheers for updates - I'll get those sorted.

Quite possibly, as they still have 2 Paramounts

RE: Weardale - BUSFAN - 23 May 2016

Looks like another recent arrival is Vanhool YJ13 SJH working for Insight Vacations Neoplan MA12 ADV is also back working for Insight having recently had the livery reapplied.

RE: Weardale - BUSFAN - 04 Jun 2016

Solo GO059 WMS is now in full Weardale livery and i was also wondering if Vanhool 8 WMS is still with Weardale as i have not seen it in quite some time.

It went to J&C a while ago, now registered T645JWB

So that means that J&C must have bought three coaches from Weardale the two Dennis/Plaxtons and a Scania Irizar Century.

RE: Weardale - BUSFAN - 14 Jun 2016

I think Weardale have been getting a former Alfa Holidays Plaxton Paragon as one was parked at Crook Tonight.

RE: Weardale - BUSFAN - 07 Jul 2016

Weardale have been getting a former WebberBus Solo YJ59 GGA i think a couple of the Solos may have left the fleet but am not 100% sure.

Phoenix Coaches have bought slim Solo's D6 WMS (MX07 JNZ) and V6 WMS (MX07 JNJ).

RE: Weardale - BUSFAN - 11 Jul 2016

Weardale have been getting a 12 reg Triaxle Vanhool its a former Austin Earlston wonder if its replaced a Coach or another addition to the fleet.

RE: Weardale - BUSFAN - 11 Aug 2016

Weardale have been getting another Vanhool and judging by the livery i think its a former Reays Coach.

RE: Weardale - Brian13 - 12 Aug 2016

Got the 941 the other night and it was a really polite driver. He said that the bus which was supposed to be operating it wasn't in use so SN03 EBK was allocated any idea what is normally allocated

Think MCV Evolution YJ60GGF is normally allocated to the 941: https://flic.kr/p/BQWYgF

Seen a Solo on it before though.

Cheers. I'll have to get it again to see what it is, I've seen the Solo before but wasn't sure if it was a normal allocation

RE: Weardale - tyresmoke - 14 Aug 2016

Anyone know which coach this is added to the fleet fairly recently? I'm in the middle of updating all of our fleetlists and this one I am struggling with
GIB6197 is an Iveco Eurorider

RE: Weardale - BUSFAN - 14 Aug 2016

Weardale have added at least eight vehicles to the fleet over recent months and sold four what i know of the other day in the yard was a dark silver/Black Vanhool and i think Ex Parrys GIB 206 may have moved on and from what i have been told 8WMS is long term SORN since last year.the Iveco that has arrived was a former Pearces of Oxford on a 2008 model.

8WMS was involved in a pretty nasty RTA in France last year. Was led to believe it was going back to Van Hool for repair after the French authorities were finished with it
