Cheers Mark, looking good! Is FX60 going to be sold on, noticed that had no stickers on it when I passed it yesterday?

New addition here is Yutong TC9 YG17STX.
I believe Coatham have been taken over by Stanley Travel, however they will retain the same livery.
I'll fully update the fleet list to what I currently know.

Just seen this on linkedin. 

Some good news, I know it’s rare at the moment! We’ve just heard our tenders for some more routes at Prior Pursglove College were successful, so that now gives us 12 out of the 13 available, the planning starts now

Great news isn't it. We'll now operate all of routes 1-12 which is basically what I used to operate at Stagecarriage and the remaining one (13, ex Skelton Coaches) stays with M&D Travel.

Really good news. Good to see and hear of local operators picking up work like this.

Quick update from our fleet. B9 Levante FJ12GAX has finished its rebuild, and been repainted all white. Stickers to be applied next. The other one (FJ12GBV) is away at Glen Valley being converted to 70 seats.
B10M Premier N861DSP is for sale if anyone wants a cheap school bus!

Not my photos...

Yes we will be, but it’s yet to be finalised. I’m going to look at some on Tuesday apparently.

Former GNE Solo YJ10MFN (ex 705) has joined our fleet today. 
We’ve also done a very quiet soft launch of the new CoathamConnect brand which you can see it is displaying.... more news on this soon!

I never used much from that batch after they came north, but found them decent enough to ride on in their previous life. 
It will be interesting to see what the bodywork on them is like. Visually, some of them weren't in the best of condition prior to moving north. I couldn't have seen that much being spent on them once they did.

However, intregued to know more about the new brand and what it's going to be used on.

Announced today that we will be launching a service 18 under the CoathamConnect brand which will link Stokesley, Great Alton, Guisborough and Saltburn soon! More details when I can.
Levantes FJ12GAX/GBV both arrived back from 70 seat conversion at Glen Valley today.

Congratulations! Hopefully service 18 will be successful! Just out of interest, is the stretch between Stokesley and Guisborough supported by NYCC (who were looking to find a replacement for Arriva's 81s) or is it a commercial operation?
