(09 Oct 2016, 4:54 pm)Brian13 I'm guessing they've lost the National Express contracts.
They lost the National Express contracts a while back now. Go North East were awarded with the new contracts for them and ordered brand new coaches to operate these services.

All of the DAF ALX400 double decks have been sold.
Levante FN06FMA and FH06EBM have been sold to Falkland Islands Tours & Travel. FJ57KHP/KHR haven't turned up anywhere else yet but I've removed them from the fleetlist anyway.

Cheers Brian, they did have one left in some pictures I saw at the weekend although I was told all have been sold. Maybe still using it waiting for the 3rd Trident to arrive.

KV02 USO is now branded in JH Coaches livery. Meanwhile KV02 USW has arrived and was on the 556 scholars in plain Gold. This suggest T317 FGN has been withdrawn. Does anyone know where the ALX400s have been sold to

B66 only runs Friday, Sunday & Monday and last JH day tour 16/10 with next one 22/10. So more likely a private charter or a driver change for the 23.
