905 has lost its ASDA Rider branding: https://flic.kr/p/owzamn
Has another company gained this contract?
RE: Phoenix Coaches - Rapidsnap - 20 Aug 2014
Think it's due a repaint.

Phoenix also have MX09 KKC (an Iveco Daily) which was used on service 30 (North Seaton - Ashington - Linton) for some time.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - tyresmoke - 01 Feb 2015
Ok I've spent some time this afternoon updating the fleetlist for Phoenix
Let me know if you have any additions. I'm reluctant to add the minibuses as they can change so often but the Iveco seeing as it gets used on PSV routes I've added.

I'll have a look around for the minibuses for you and I'll get the reg and the livery
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 03 Feb 2015
The driver of today's 30 was very friendly, despite having his music blasting. Cheap fares too, 60p adult single (didn't mind paying adult fares, basically the same as Arriva's child fares) but don't know what a child single would have been...
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 07 Feb 2015
Further to my previous post about the minibuses;
KM12 AAJ Vehicle Type: Citroen Relay Colour: Silver. Livery: Phoenix - "Book me just like a taxi"
I shall add the minibuses to this post every time I see or photograph one.

KY63VTG is in Phoenix livery. (Full livery)
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 16 Mar 2015
There is an 11-reg Solo on the 30.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 19 Mar 2015
Green-branded Optare Solo on 30.
KX53 SCZ was on the 30 yesterday. I believe that Phoenix may be having problems with the vehicle.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 21 Mar 2015
Forgot to report, 908, NJ11 EXJ was on the 30 yesterday.
There must be a problem with KX53 SCZ
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 26 Mar 2015
A Mercedes minibus that isn't on the fleet lists has had it's reg changed to A16 PNX.
I'll check my photos and I'll give you the previous reg.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 14 Apr 2015
Mercedes Vario/Plaxton Cheetah YN58CGO has been re-registered A14 PNX.
I'll have a look through my photos tomorrow for A16PNX.

Some or all of these are not owned/operated by Phoenix, but by other companies that run and maintain these on behalf of Phoenix, like a contract really.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 02 May 2015
Here is 911/A14 PNX (previously YN58CGO). The fleet number is just below the right-hand side headlights.

RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 05 May 2015
905 (the 59reg) is on the 30 today.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 12 May 2015
900 - Renault Master. Not the best photo.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 21 May 2015
Phoenix Day Tours brochure now available. Few interesting ones - Mystery trip of Northumberland, Carlisle, Blackpool, Beamish, Metrocentre, Airshow and more. Pick-up points include Morpeth Bus Station, Ashington Wetherspoons (Stand G), Newbiggin, Blyth, Cramlington Manor Walks, Bedlington and a few more places.
Not sure about the "Metrocentre at Christmas" one, cant do six-ish hours at the Metrocentre, mind.
Brochures available on certain buses, via phone and online iirc.
