After a number of request’s I have organised a visit to GEM Travel of Stanley on Sunday 29th October.

The main aim will be to visit their premises to photograph their fleet and use former Parks of Hamilton Volvo B10M / Plaxton Paramount G66RGG.

If you would like to join me, we will be picking up at 12:00 from the main entrance of Durham railway station.

Other GEM Travel vehicles that may also be available on the day are:

If you would like any further details please drop me an email onbusdepottours@gmail.com

Please do not contact GEM Travel as they will be unable to assist you
This was on Bus Enthusiasts Running days in case anyone is opting to go.

I've completely updated the fleetlist for GEM Travel, including former GNE 4915, 5220 and 5225 in their fleet for school services into St Leonards, Durham.

Another recent arrival is B10M Premier L733RUM, while Paramount G66RGG has been scrapped

As always if you have any updates then please let us know!

An observation from passing the depot this evening is that the second of the two ex-GNE Solars (NVY) is now in GEM's own livery.

Been like that for a while now, this was taken at the beginning of June. Looks like it has the company logo on the front now when I passed last week.

A new arrival here seems to be GNE Vyking 3983. Spotted it through the trees parked in the yard this evening.
