Is that being stored at the Queen Alex Bridge or the new depot?

BX06 UMC parked at a bus stop in Doxford International around 19:45

We are operating a car park shuttle contract from Doxford Park to Rainton Meadows Andy. BX06 UMC was allocated to that yesterday.

Cheers I think I also saw another JH Coaches vehcile parked there on Wednesday

That was either BX06 UMC again on the shuttle or OTP 392 which was doing route training at the same time.

Hi jaimz13

The two darts KU52RYF and KU52RYM arrived last night from Essex.

BX06 UMJ was on ALS Coach Travel today
BX06 UMC was on ALS on Thursday

T318 looks very smart!
https://flic.kr/p/opbAV6

Looks as if Jim Hughes have taken over the Newcastle Races shuttle from either Arriva or TGM Classic (can't remember which one). T318 was doing the honours today.

Looks like 3 coaches have went up to Edinburgh for the fringe or tattoo. Saw them on the A1 around Berwick but was unable to get the registrations. 2 corporate liveried coaches and a red one if that helps anybody.

Robert,

The coaches would have been:-

BX06 UMC (Corporate Livery)
BX06 UMJ (Red Livery)
PIL 2166 (Corporate Livery)

Although shown to be sold to Listers PSV of Bolton after disposal from the Arriva North East fleet, it would seem that former Arriva North East 1209/13 have turned up at Jim Hughes...

Hi,

Thanks for visiting our new depot at Birtley.

Currently we have ongoing heavy construction taking place, therefore on the grounds of Health & Safety if you could refrain from entering the site until this work is completed.

We will of course be happy to show you around at a later date, we will publish this as soon as we can.

Afraid the photo was found online and the author of the photograph isn't a member of this forum! If you send a PM to mrnut85, he may be able to pass the message onto Steven Hodgson.

Great to hear that you're happy to show enthusiasts around your depot in future though.

Thanks for that Dan.

It won't be a problem to have visitors as soon as we are up and running (subject to appointment).
