One of the operators which went bust 4 or 5 years ago had some ex-NE based vehicles.

Will be interesting to do some more digging to see which ones are still going.
No clue how many there are with a NE connection, the only one really jumping out at me atm is Solo T789KNW which spent a short amount of time at Scarlet Band before going to GHA.
Still quite a few of the ex GNE MPDs kicking around, saw a pic of ex 511 / X511WRG still in service with Regent Coaches down in the South East recently. When I had a trip to Cornwall in October I found ex 541 & 603 in St Ives
541 / NA52AXF - St Ives Minibus Services: https://flic.kr/p/2jWCqbz
603 / NK54NTX - Royal Buses: https://flic.kr/p/2k5GC4X
Coincidentally I am doing much the same type of trips to Wales in the summer with a mix of bus & rail.
