Our fleet now incorporates some of the Classic Coaches vehicles which transferred from Annfield Plain.
These are:- YN54AGV, YN06PFD, YN07LHF, YN53OZP, TVE804, 6963MW.

RE: Jim Hughes of Sunderland - JHCoaches - 20 Nov 2014
I've spoken with our Operations Department this morning, and requested that on a future open day we allocate the Tridents and DAF's to provide a mixture on the day.
I will update you when the open day will be and what will be allocated to the runs. Our Tridents have now had the full JH Livery applied to them.
