JH Coaches of Birtley - Dan - 09 Jul 2013
News/Info regarding Jim Hughes to be posted here
Jim Hughes have recently re-branded Volvo B10M OTP940 and WSU486. They carry the standard gold variation of the livery with 'jh' vinyls applied.
In addition to this, Mercedes Touro BX06UMJ retains the red livery she previously carried with similar vinyls applied.
Finally, Volvo B10M YSV815 had a run out to Lightwater Valley today on a school trip. She too has been put into the livery of OTP940/WSU486 - gold again too.

Who normally works the Nat Express 425?
Just passed it on A1 and it is being worked by a gold Jim Hughes coach - with a card display on the dash
RE: Jim Hughes of Sunderland - tyresmoke - 22 Aug 2013
Normally Yourbus operated ... Guess they're either working a dupe or a replacement.
RE: Jim Hughes of Sunderland - Dan - 14 Sep 2013
D78JHY is in JH's yard. Does anyone know if this vehicle has been sold to JH by Classic?

That looks splendid! I must say that I'm a huge fan of Jim Hughes' livery.
RE: Jim Hughes of Sunderland - tyresmoke - 13 Oct 2013
I agree its a massive improvement on the old livery, very modern and sleek!

Cheers for the update, Tony.
Any ideas on what its use will be within the fleet?

There are a couple of ex-ANE and maybe one or two ex Kingsleys in there (the new depot lends itself well to those ones).
Any idea on the other routes and the previous contract holder?

Welcome to the forum, and very nice of a company to sign up to the forum to keep us all updated!
Will the two SPDs be painted into a similar livery as carried by the coaches? I note a photograph is online showing RYM has only recently been given a fresh coat of white paint.

Not quite SPDs. Just a plain old Dennis Dart SLF / Plaxton Pointer 2. Which is probably just as well as SPDs tend to droop at the rear end.
Anyway, good luck with the expansion, and I certainly will be happy to be photographing more of the ever smart Jim Hughes fleet.
