Think that covers everything, Enjoy!

Made a Update today as part of our slow expansion plan

The homepage has had a bit of an update with a link to this Forum added in hope it will attract Members from the North West (And the North East aswell!)

I updated the Fleetlist Page and added the following
Redkite (Based in St Helens, do Schools and Rail Replacements)
Peoplesbus (a firm based in Liverpool, do Schools along with a few *Special Services* and some Tendered Services)
Warrington Coachways (As it says on the tin a company based in Warrington, they do a lot of Coach work and School work however they do run a few Tendered Services and 2 None Tendered services

The D&G Fleetlist has been taken offline as they have renumbered the Fleet so the fleetlist just looked well out of date however it will return.

I have updated the Links page, Looks far better now.

That concludes my updates.

Blog Post posted regarding Impera Buses ceasing Trading

Some nice shots. Glad you enjoyed your trip over to the North East. If you can get across early enough, it's definitely worth heading up into GNE heartland for a few photos!

Think they lost the Rxxx COO Darts when the Sapphires entered service?

Should be able to find a few in Middlesbrough though, if you fancied going there instead next time!

Saw one in the last week or two at the Arnison Centre.
They have definitely been kicking around since that article was published too.

Not sure if any of the ANE drivers can confirm which ones.

There's definitely one or two, as I've seen them on the 64 within the last fortnight. I'll make a note of the numbers next time I see them.

Glad I didn't imagine it
It was probably the 64 they were on at the Arnison Centre.

I believe they have 1653/1654.

1653/4 remain at Durham, as 1301/2 remain at Darlington while 1428 and 1646 are undergoing repair (1646 undergoing major work, as the chassis is basically shot, but it's being repaired). 1428 is approaching the end of the work, so the moves should take place shortly.

1428 has been back in service for a week or so, resulting in 1653 going off to Jesmond for repaint - it should move to Redcar at some point! 1654 was still plodding around Durham when I was up there on Friday too.
