In which case a slander or libel trial should be incoming.

That's...yellow. Looks quite nice actually.

Not sure why it has "Cambois" on the blinds, because it doesn't terminate there. Even if it did, which part of Cambois is it referring to?!

The timetable on Google Maps has Stakeford as the terminus for the service.

Looks like Phoenix have acquired an ex CT Plus Gemini, SN56 AFK.

Just seen on Nexus website that Phoenix are running the X21 on boxing day from Ashington instead of Arriva. Wonder what vehicles will be used for that.

Probably the B7 and scania (If it's working then) I'd imagine

Scania was on 434 today, its possible its still been on the road the last few weeks although not on the 434/448.

yeah the Scanias been out for a while, usually on private hires when I see it

Yeah I've seen the Scania already on the 09:15 from Haymarket so should be on the odd hour departure from Haymarket for the rest of today. Waiting to see the 10:15

The 10:15 from Haymarket was the white Volvo B7 Gemini

Apparently it was meant to be the "party bus" that was allocated!!

The Gemini looked to have a paper sticker in the window.

Does anyone know if the 808 runs this week?

Really? Why didn't the party bus end up being allocated?

Yes, it did. Not a very clearly visible one though.

Does Phoenix operate the 808 this week do you know?

More changes for Phoenix from Sunday 26th March:

15 between Thropton & Alnwick, Lionheart Business Park is withdrawn.

471 is a new service between Thropton and Alnwick Bus Station replacing the 15 but sees an increase to 3 journeys, up from the current 2 journeys.

From what I've gathered from Facebook, the Bus and Coach side of Phoenix has split from the taxis side of the business. This happened quite some time ago, however at some point in December, the Bus / Coach operation have rebranded themselves at Liberty Coaches due to people still thinking they are part of Phoenix Taxis.

Interesting. They've retained the Pratts identity down here in Durham.

Have the Hurst family (Alex Hurst of nufc true faith fame) retained the coaching operation or just the taxi?

Phoenix (now Liberty Coaches) from Registration will have the Morpeth Town Services 417 & 436 from Monday. Green Mountain Travel will no longer run it
