Calvary Coaches of Washington - GuyParkRoyal - 29 May 2015
Calvary Coaches are moving out of their operating centre at Deighton Brothers in Felling. They now have approval to locate one vehicle at A Line Coaches in Pelaw and the other vehicle will be based at Kingsleys Coaches in Birtley.

I had no idea that Calvary Coaches were still going!
What vehicles do they own now?

Ken sold out to Go ahead, drove for them and as far as I knew, that was it. That mist have been 20 odd years ago.

I thought Calvary Coaches had long gone too. There's been no mention of it in the PSV Circle fleetlists. The only other companies I can think of would be Altona Travel and Caris Coaches (who I think are now gone).

If it is the same guy, he must be in his early 70's at the very least. I would have put him in his late 40's/early 50's when he sold up.
Unless there is a Ken Rodham Jr...
