Judging by recent additions I would say more converted ex London deckers.

That looks to be X25UNH ex-Northumbria University

Everything seems to link up as its new Aug 2007 which matches with SK07HMO (X25UNH).
Volvo B10M WSU486 has now been re-registered back to P742YUM and withdrawn (presumably pending sale).
The two Mercedes Tourismo's have been re-registered JH09COM and JH59COM - I would guess these are BJ59OJA/B respectively but confirmation required on those.

JH07 COM was out on the 23 today - https://www.flickr.com/photos/adammalarkey/27306906241/

Confirmation on the Mercedes Tourismos...

JH09COM = BJ59OJA

JH59COM = BJ59OJB

Both are now in service in red livery with JH logos.

Another new addition to the fleet is Volvo B9R SG13PHN formerly of Parks of Hamilton

SG13 PHN: Jim Hughes t/a JH Coaches, Birtley (originally LSK 824) by chucklebuster, on Flickr

I didn't get a proper look, but a JH coach seemed to be having issues earlier today in Chester.

It was parked at the lights at South Burns, missed several cycles and seemed to be getting some attention.

By the time I was able to get over and do some proper nabbing, it was away.

That must mean GNE have lost the contract for it.

Is the E200 still used on 23 or is it the primo

Yes it is, it is now generally the E200, but the Primo occasionally pops up.

(12 Aug 2016, 8:18 am)jaimzm wrote Is the E200 still used on 23 or is it the primo

The E200 is out on the 23 during the School Holiday period then should revert back to the Primo after 6th September.

Even during school terms, the E200 tends to pop up more than the Primo, as it works the 90 after the 23.

LR52 KVO on the 900 today

What is operating the 90 tonight?

The JH run is allocated the E200, It runs off the 23.

Not today - passed the Primo in Barley Mow on the 23 earlier.

A earlier post by Guy Park Royal says that during the holidays the E200 should be allocated to the 23, With the service reverting to the Primo when School's Start again.
So to see the Primo today was quite rare.

Edit here's the post

Primo was on the 90. Got on it at metrocentre 15 minutes late and he absolutely floored it around swalwell.

These were using some Gold tridents on the uni open day bus

Which ones? Which uni? When was the open day?

A bit of information would not go a miss.

Saw LR52 KVO in the city centre and then S236 JUA with JH Coaches on the front going towards the Stadium of Light

Think it was JH07 COM or possibly KX59 GOA anyway one of them at Lindesfarne roundabout at 9pm

KV02 USO was on a Scholars in Whiteleas tonight. Do JH own this its gold and an ALX400

(29 Sep 2016, 6:15 pm)Brian13 wrote KV02 USO was on a Scholars in Whiteleas tonight. Do JH own this its gold and an ALX400

It's a JH bus, the only independents operating around there are JH and Stanley, an possibly GCT.

Two new Tridents in the fleet are KV02URU and KV02USO (as mentioned above).
All of the DAF ALX400 double decks have been sold.
Levante FN06FMA and FH06EBM have been sold to Falkland Islands Tours & Travel. FJ57KHP/KHR haven't turned up anywhere else yet but I've removed them from the fleetlist anyway.

I'm guessing they've lost the National Express contracts.
