Procters appear to be having a bit of a clear out, with various fleet members from across the group, including Esk Valley Solo MX54KXW, now for sale on www.procterscoachandbussales.com
No doubt the Leven fleet will start to appear on there too...

EDIT: Also suggests that Compass Iveco FE51RGX has been sold

YN11 FUP was covering for a Loch and Glens branded vehicle this morning... https://www.flickr.com/photos/tommy1581/16759816660/

Could be because of the accident in Scotland?

Depends how many they have booked out I guess. Either that or this was doing a feeder and they'll swap passengers at a services to allow the tour coach to stay in Scotland for another week or whatever.

Timetable for Procters Coaches service 610R Leyburn - Darlington College starts on Monday replacing the Arriva X59 service.
http://www.connectteesvalley.com/data/timetables/610R_PC_110515.pdf

Service will run college days only .

The Little White Bus service 156 (The Wensleydale Voyager) will offer connections at Leyburn with settlements in Upper Wensleydale, effectively replacing withdrawn Arriva service 59.

I believe they were both up for auction.

No, they weren't in the auction.

And YX60DXY is reportedly now in use with Dales & District.

RE: Procters Group - GUG - 14 May 2015

MX07JOJ has now returned to service following its crash in September of 2014.

It is currently missing the dales and district logos on both sides due to a repaint but all the other decals are in place.

It is operating service 610r this evening.

Also wish they would make up their mind to what the service number for this service is, sometimes it's the X34, other times it's the 34 Huh

RE: Procters Group - Jimmi - 23 Jul 2015

Dales & District Pulsar YJ59AYZ made an unusual appearance on service 72 today. (MCV Evolution was on the 73 this afternoon).

Dales & District: YJ59 AYZ by Jimmi's Bus Photos, on Flickr

Sampled some of the Dales & District network and I have mixed feelings with what happened today. I feel some of the timetables are ridiculously tight with the 70 arriving in Ripon around 5 minutes late and the 159 arrived at Leyburn over 10 minutes late and the icing on the cake was the 73 turning up in Bedale over 15 minutes late and left out of service meaning instead of waiting around 20 minutes between the 155 and 73 I ended up waiting around 50 minutes and it was a good thing I wasn't wanting the 72 back to Darlington as when we got back to Northallerton it pulled out just as we were arriving. The drivers I had today were friendly though.

So I am not impressed with how the services were being run today, especially the 73 as had I not gotten the 54 from Northallerton - Richmond I would have been stuck in Northallerton for two hours!

RE: Procters Group - tyresmoke - 23 Jul 2015

Yes some of their network is very tightly timed! Majority of them don't carry much but usually all buses will wait for each other to arrive which of course can cause knock on delays...
Fleet news I am told that T25SVN is painted into white for Dales & District now

RE: Procters Group - jaimzm - 23 Jul 2015

Do they still have YX60DXY E200

I believe they still have YX60DXY yes
The 31 is the Richmond Town Service which serves the estates and therefore connects in the town with the various other D&D and Arriva routes to further afield.

Glad they still got that so I take the E200 they got from leven valley will replace some old solos nd ah right thank you very much

Whats happened with Leven Valley MPD Dart SN05HDF has it be sold

RE: Procters Group - tyresmoke - 01 Aug 2015

Now confirmed...
Iveco Indcar FE51RGX and Iveco Eurorider YN04AXJ have both moved to Esk Valley Coaches. I expect a lot of the older stuff has left the fleet now but I'm unable to confirm at present. Also at Esk Valley is Mercedes Sprinter BX54LLJ.
A few coaches are at Procters ready for onward sale, including Ayats Bravo NX07BOU and various YIL122x's from Compass Royston.
Former Leven Valley Dart W794VMV is now confirmed as sold to Silcox Coaches

RE: Procters Group - jaimzm - 02 Aug 2015

Anyone know what service 74 interworks with

RE: Procters Group - tyresmoke - 02 Aug 2015

I've been working on these fleetlists this afternoon in between watching the diving...

Quite a lot of changes happening this summer and many more to come I am sure!
A lot of the fleet across the 4 companies have been withdrawn, but this may well be due to the summer holidays only.

Recently added to the fleet at Procters is two brand new VDL Bova's... registered 11KJP and PR02TER
The old PR02TER is now registered YJ09FHV and withdrawn.
Also withdrawn from Procters are the following...
Bova MSU462 (for sale on Procters' sales site)
Temsa 687YUD (for sale on Procters' sales site)
Volvo B10M 149CYY > YS02YYJ
Volvo B10M 400KFU > NY51YFU
Volvo B12M LXH869 > FJ03AAN
Van Hool YJ10JZA (for sale on Procters' sales site)

Volvo B12B YN07DVA has taken up the 400KFU registration, while an unknown 03 plate Volvo B12 is now wearing 149CYY

Esk Valley's withdrawn pile includes DAF Excalibur R45GNW, MAN HF05JRO, Volvos D20SMS, YOI7757 and NSU611

Compass Royston's Volvo B10M's have been re-registered:
YIL1223 > M646KVU
YIL1224 > M647KVU
YIL1225 > M653KVU
YIL1226 > M654KVU
YIL1227 > K471VVR
YIL1230 > K489VVR
Note YIL1229 retains its registration (at present)
All are withdrawn presumably pending sale?

Vehicles taking up these registrations as below...
Volvo B10M P316RGS > YIL1225
DAF SB3000 W215CDN > YIL1230

Also re-registered but unknown registrations at present are:
VDL SB4000 FM56UNU, FA07XAZ
Volvo B10M's P996JBC, R459BAY, R619BAY and HDZ2615
Neoplan 1624WY

Withdrawn and repainted white at Procters prior to sale is Ayats Bravo NX07BOU

Withdrawn from the school fleet (possibly just for the summer holidays!) are H836AHS, K355VRU, L8TCC, M33CRT, M40CRT, M884WAK, Y2POB, GSU230, JUI6176, KIB7257, MIW9046, NIL5905, PBZ8343, USU345

Volvo B10M USU345 has also gained the new livery

Stockton Borough Council reduced funding for school buses, said three Conyers runs will now be cash fares instead of free service!
