My contacts tell me they're taking the 426/436 work from Yourbus and have recieved 3 Levantes (FN06 FMA (C066), FJ57 KHP (SR95) & FJ57 KHR (SR96)) on loan from National Express for now. Due to start at the weekend

Are those the Ashington runs? 

Anyone know if they are doing a shuttle or big private hire in the Durham area today as I have just seen a large number of their double deckers near Durham Railway Station (the stop outside County Hospital the 49/49A stops at).

426/436 are the South Shields-London runs. 425/435 are the Ashington ones and as yet no operator has been revealed for those.

Looked like private hire for Uni or something like that given the age of the passengers.

Uni then?

No idea to be honest. Could be anything.

One of their drivers mentioned private bookings for Newcastle Races was expected for today in addition to the normal races shuttle that they run.

Wonder what they will use on that then, would imagine they would have to get a Low Floor Minibus from somewhere.

Its also great to see an Independent Operator expanding so rapidly over the past year.

See in bus and coach buyer a Nottingham dealer is selling second hand levantes, and in route one your bus complaining about NX after they took all the contracts off them.

Yourbus is selling a lot of Levantes directly. I agree with the comments about how well jh is doing, good on them.

I've just had some information from Mr Brown at JH Coaches, and he believes that they are going to purchase either a Enviro 200 or Plaxton Primo for the 23 route.

The E200 would be better as GCT have one then it could have a set allocation.

Hopefully they will get an Enviro 200. Seating layout on the Primo's are strange and I don't Primo's are considered to be the most reliable buses.

I've updated our fleetlist with the latest info kindly provided by JH Coaches

If anyone can go out and get photos of the missing vehicles on Flickr then that would be great and make our fleetlist even better!

Just a reminder that the B66 starts in just under 2 weeks

WSV570 - To enter service soon!

I saw JH15COM in Darlington this morning, still awaiting vinyls, but it certainly is very smart and stands out.

First day for the B66 Blackpool Express today with No 23 Volvo B10M Excalibur as the allocated vehicle.

UGD 735 had a driver playing the hokey cokey with the two lanes of the A19 earlier.
Couldn't make up his mind which lane to be in.

FYI Jimmi - if you click the little page button with a PHP logo on it when making your post - it'll put in a scrolley box around the registrations, so you're not taking up loads of space.

Right okay, wasn't sure how do to do that.

I actually posted these registrations on my mobile.

Doubt there's an option on Tapatalk to be able to do it.

You can always try typing [php] before and [ / php] after the registrations (without the space between the bracket and forward slash).
