Snaith's have a small outstation at the back of Hexham auction mart which they use for parking buses overnight and on a weekend. Normally 4-5 vehicles are stabled there. Snaith's also park their smaller buses outside their driver's homes, Wark and Acomb are two such locations.
I also note from Notices and Proceedings that Milburns (formerly OO Smith) at Birtley On Tyne have increased their fleet authorisation to 6 vehicles. Birtley On Tyne lies between Hexham and Bellingham. However the state of the roads around Birtley On Tyne and weak bridge at Wark may impact on the size of the vehicles they could operate. OO Smith used to operate weekly service from Birtley to Hexham on a Tuesday.
As an aside Mr and Mrs Milburn also used to run the pub at Birtley On Tyne, the Percy Arms. Unfortunately this is now closed.
Sorry if I've gone off thread a bit.
