905 has lost its ASDA Rider branding: https://flic.kr/p/owzamn

Has another company gained this contract?

Think it's due a repaint.

Phoenix also have MX09 KKC (an Iveco Daily) which was used on service 30 (North Seaton - Ashington - Linton) for some time.

Ok I've spent some time this afternoon updating the fleetlist for Phoenix
Let me know if you have any additions. I'm reluctant to add the minibuses as they can change so often but the Iveco seeing as it gets used on PSV routes I've added.

I'll have a look around for the minibuses for you and I'll get the reg and the livery

The driver of today's 30 was very friendly, despite having his music blasting. Cheap fares too, 60p adult single (didn't mind paying adult fares, basically the same as Arriva's child fares) but don't know what a child single would have been...

Further to my previous post about the minibuses;

KM12 AAJ Vehicle Type: Citroen Relay Colour: Silver. Livery: Phoenix - "Book me just like a taxi"

I shall add the minibuses to this post every time I see or photograph one.

An update for the fleetlist. Optare Solo M950 YJ59NND is now in Phoenix livery.

Cheers

KY63VTG is in Phoenix livery. (Full livery)

There is an 11-reg Solo on the 30.

Green-branded Optare Solo on 30.

KX53 SCZ was on the 30 yesterday. I believe that Phoenix may be having problems with the vehicle.

Forgot to report, 908, NJ11 EXJ was on the 30 yesterday.

There must be a problem with KX53 SCZ

A Mercedes minibus that isn't on the fleet lists has had it's reg changed to A16 PNX.
I'll check my photos and I'll give you the previous reg.

Mercedes Vario/Plaxton Cheetah YN58CGO has been re-registered A14 PNX.

I'll have a look through my photos tomorrow for A16PNX.

Some or all of these are not owned/operated by Phoenix, but by other companies that run and maintain these on behalf of Phoenix, like a contract really.

Here is 911/A14 PNX (previously YN58CGO). The fleet number is just below the right-hand side headlights.

905 (the 59reg) is on the 30 today.

900 - Renault Master. Not the best photo.

Phoenix Day Tours brochure now available. Few interesting ones - Mystery trip of Northumberland, Carlisle, Blackpool, Beamish, Metrocentre, Airshow and more. Pick-up points include Morpeth Bus Station, Ashington Wetherspoons (Stand G), Newbiggin, Blyth, Cramlington Manor Walks, Bedlington and a few more places.

Not sure about the "Metrocentre at Christmas" one, cant do six-ish hours at the Metrocentre, mind.

Brochures available on certain buses, via phone and online iirc.
