Why? Hodgsons aren't even based anywhere near Teesside.

Hodgsons would never do service buses there, they have coaches and could easily do day trips there if they wanted

Now on the school bus fleet is Scania Omnidekka SN05 HWE, ex First Scotland East/McGills.

A few more previously unreported additions earlier in summer were Volvo B10M Plaxton Panther HJI855 from Maudes of Barnard Castle, DAF VanHool MA03 XDE (VIL 9733) from Spencer Graham in Cumbria, and Volvo B10M Plaxton Panther Y336 AUT. All 3 were utilised on the school fleet.
