Found an e-mail address for all bar Hunters, so have e-mailed them all.

I've had replies from Jim Hughes, Priory Coaches, Durham City Coaches (they are going to get back to me), Procters (they want me to ring them...ugh!) and Maynards (discussing quotes from other companies with him at the moment).
