Gardiners NMC have sold Scania L94IB A19TKF to M&D Travel, it has been replaced by similar H5KFC. Also added to the fleet are Volvo B12B LK53KVV and Neoplan Euroliner YN03AWZ (now re-registered UFE712).

Saw their 14 reg King Long earlier today heading into Durham along the A690.
The driver seemed to be in a hurry, but from what I saw, the coach looked decent.
