Well, I can tell you about this. He has two coaches and one minibus. He lives in the middle of my street and he parks them around the corner.

Both coaches are in a right state.

My brother saw a 'X8' today, somewhere near Morpeth or Newcastle (he doesn't know where his respite workers take him). Any ideas?

Actually, since that starts from tomorrow, more likely this version

Both of them start today, my brother probably saw the old X5 with the wrong destination up...

Just caught the back end of the 'party bus'. It was a black Metrorider.
Didn't see reg to identify if it was a native example.

Any ideas?

Saw this on Wednesday in Birtley. I searched the registration (P159FBC) on Flickr and most photos that came up showed it as being with Kingsley's but has now lost Kingsley's vinyls since the most recent photo on Flickr. Can anyone confirm if it is still with Kingsley's?

Chances are it will still be with them. Still got the Kingsley's red line although that means nowt.

I imagine it probably is still with them, especially given the area I saw it in.

Wouldn't mind betting Altona have it. They park in Kingsleys yard too

Anyone know who has this coach these days? YT12RKX. It was last based in Swindon (and in livery) from what I can see, but no information since then. 

I don't have much knowledge of coaching operations, but I believe that 'David Urquhart Travel' just act as an agency, rather than owning the coaches themselves?

According to the title on the photo I've linked below it apparently is with Pygall's.

Nice one. Thank you.

Harker's?

Thanks.

(22 Nov 2015, 4:45 pm)Davie wrote Thanks.

Hi it's definitely Harkers, I spotted it at their garage a few weeks back.

Has anyone seen that old minibus at their garage surrounded by what appears to be Japanese knotweed? If so what is the registration?

Thanks Charles. The registration is T1 WEH.

The auction place in Birtley, located on the corner of Portobello Road/Birtley Lane has a handful of plain white minibus type vehicles.

The legals are on still visible, but couldn't see them in detail when passing.

Might be worth someone checking them out, to see who they used to be belong to.

(23 May 2015, 5:35 pm)GX03 SVC wrote I've seen it loads recently on the A69 and A1, but a step entrance minibus with cycling related stuff on the side in blue, it's pre-2001 but I can't remember the reg. It hovers about the West Road/Westerhope areas.

T314 JWA - it's a Mercedes minibus.

Noted parked outside bede college in Sunderland today was DAF/vanhool S53VGV. It was with Adamson's of cramlington but today it had no names on so was wondering if it's still with them or has moved on.

C800USG - does anyone have any info around this Volvo Citybus? More specifically what it's doing in County Durham. I know it was ex Stagecoach in Scotland, but it's last operator appears to have been Bedford.

It's in the last blue and white livery now with vinyls removed, but twice now I've passed it on the A181.

Has someone acquired it for preservation?

Just saw said bus in Easington Lane.
What a cracker.

Not an unknown spotting (as I worked out the operator), but saw two unusual buses following each other at Testo's Roundabout earlier.

Did a quick bit of research when I got a chance, but no idea what they're in the region for or if they were just passing through.
Beyoncé?
