It is correct that following the closure of the TGM North East depot in Annfield Plain we are pleased to confirm that on the 1st October 2014 Classic Coaches has joined with JH Coaches. JH Coaches is owned by the Shipley family who were the original founders of Classic Coaches way back in 1983, so once again we are family owned.
Both companies have now moved to a new depot in Birtley.
Our Day Trip and Blackpool Express programmes will continue to operate as normal until the end of their current brochures (2014) We are currently working on the Day Trip and Blackpool Express programs for 2015.
Our fleet now incorporates some of the Classic Coaches vehicles which transferred from Annfield Plain.
These are:- YN54AGV, YN06PFD, YN07LHF, YN53OZP, TVE804, 6963MW.
We are also introducing another Volvo Vanhool Astrobel - 3262MW.
