I took a photo of MX07LBG in Berwick on 18th September 2013. I think it had recently arrived when I seen it in September as it had just been painted in blue but had no Travelsure livery or legal lettering.

This must be the end of the summer timetable for another year, going from every 2 hours back to 4 hours. I was down on the coast today, one of their Nimbuses and a very dodgy sounding Solo were working the 418. I saw them a few times and each time they passed me they had no more than 5 passengers on.

this is because a decision is being made by berwick council to see if travelsure will still 32 or if perryman will. there will be 2 new buses for travelsure if they still run the service. a memver of staff told me. if a had my voice recorder with me i would of recorded him and downloaded on here.

it is one of the council that decide and it is a bit of a muck about

RE: Travelsure - passenger_10 - 26 Nov 2015

I think the 32 will be a Scottish Borders Council subsidised route as it primarily serves villages in Scotland. Not sure I see the sense in selling the buses in case they lose the service, why not wait until you know you've lost it? If the buses are decent and you regain the service you've got to hunt around again for another couple of second hand buses with all the added cost and potential to buy a pair of lemons that entails.

i think travelsure will buy more solos or somehing of that size as the primos are small

RE: Travelsure - omnicity4659 - 05 Jan 2016

I've seen the Solo, it seems to have a blue (what I can describe as Travelsure blue) patch on the rear part of the roof. Couldn't see the reg due to condensation.

Travelsure seems to allocate the same vehicles to services, so whatever route serves Craster and Belford if anyone wants to look for it.

RE: Travelsure - Rapidsnap - 07 Jan 2016

I was wondering why the reg of this was so familier. Turns out I photographed it with its original operator - https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/6258997256/in/photolist-ax5ZPN-ax5ZGC-ax3iv8

RE: Travelsure - passenger_10 - 06 Feb 2016

I've seen 3 assorted Travelsure buses in Alnwick bus station today. Not one has had working side or rear number/ destination displays and one bus still has yellow destination boards propped up in the front window. One of which being HX53 ODH.

One of their Solo's always has it now, YN09LCM.


I'm also pleased to announce that their newest addition, the White Solo is MX10DXP from Scotland I think.

Yep, that's the one. Must just be doing the Berwick-Scotland runs and the odd 418 service now and again.

In the window there is a notice saying "ON LOAN TO TRAVELSURE COACHES LTD" with the legal address also on the piece of paper next to the door. The Holmeswood legal address is still on display next to the door.

So I'm guessing it's a loan? Not sure...
