(30 Sep 2016, 3:03 pm)BusLoverMum This has been doing school runs through our village, this week. A recent acquisition by Pygalls, or someone else? Cochrane's maybe? Bell's is another possibility

Saw a different one, last week, but at a different time - a black H reg DAF single decker. It's quite unusual, but unfortunately I can't remember the exact registration and I've not been able to find a picture of it or any reference to it, from the description.
(26 Oct 2016, 8:15 am)Brian13 Anyone know who owns V5 TYL it's in South Shields this morning. Think it's a Volvo Plaxton
(25 Nov 2016, 11:24 am)Andreos1 Saw an ELC bodied decker of some sort earlier. It's blind had been boarded up and had a permanent '752' applied.
I was headed in the opposite direction, so didn't really get a proper look.
The reg I scribbled down was S857 OGX. That doesn't tally with anything online unfortunately.

(04 Dec 2016, 5:35 pm)tyresmoke This would be S847DGX which has recently joined the fleet at Pygalls in Peterlee.
(04 Dec 2016, 5:35 pm)tyresmoke Sorry I've not visited this end of the forum for ages! If it was along with the black H221TCP DAF Ikarus then they'll both be Pygalls Coaches. Didn't realise they'd added so many double decks to their fleet!

(05 Dec 2016, 12:04 am)BusLoverMum Yep, I saw the daf again, a couple of weeks ago and got the full reg, that time
Only found one very old pic of it online, which I linked to in the pygalls thread!
Curious that absolutely everything apart from the windows had been sprayed black, even the radiator grille!

Spotted a B10 in First livery heading east along the A174 about an hour ago.
The 'city' part of the livery had been removed unfortunately.
It had a flip dot display, showing 'Private'.
Someone's for restoration or something for one of our Teesside independents?
(27 Jul 2017, 9:26 am)Andreos1 Two TfL E400's on lowloaders heading north on A1 last night. Didn't get id unfortunately

(27 Jul 2017, 10:53 am)Cobalt271 Do you know whereabouts on the A1? I wonder if they were heading to Thornton's.
Saw a dart on the A1 today. First time was sometime before 11, travelling northbound and left the A1 at the Seaton Burn roundabout. Second time it was on the back of an Ian Bradley tow truck travelling southbound seen near the Kingston Park slip road at around 16:50
The livery was all over orange and I could not see any fleetnames. Not sure who this may belong to.

Was it a MPD or a larger Dart? I ask as I have seen a photo on Facebook of Arriva MPD 1759 in Blyth depot this afternoon. Judging by the mention of Easy Access stickers, it sounds like it was 1759.

Blyth do PSV tests if other depots aren't available. There's been Sapphire Pulsars from Durham there in the past.
