(19 Apr 2019, 2:50 pm)S830OFT Hardlys going to work, PCLs current services don't seem sustainable so I can't see this bringing in a significant amount of revenue. Also for a company as small as PCL, I can't see them investing in Double Decker vehicles, when the cost is so high, this is a recipe for disaster...

With a bit of marketing, a better operator and stopping at Alnwick bus station (for accessibility and connections) and extending to Alnmouth (for ECML and coast), it could work you know...
(27 Apr 2019, 6:32 pm)S830OFT 06 plate Renault was on the 15s today with garden bin stickers used for the route number.
It's strange how PCL can use Primos on Town services, but deploy this to Rural services.

(02 May 2019, 12:35 pm)Jimmi It's just vinyls rather than garden bin stickers.
Discovered their latest ploy yesterday, they are now on some journeys at least operating services A1 & 15 as one service, got on what I assumed was the 15 in Alnwick Bus Station yesterday afternoon and I found myself being taken to Alnwick Sainsburys, down the A1 and through some villages before eventually ending up in Longframlington which is where the A1 terminates and then onto Rothbury from there

Atleast It's an upgrade from the 2006 vans, although I predict residents are becoming fed up with allocations like these.
