(08 Apr 2016, 5:49 pm)James101 Yes I believe the regular mpd used does have urban 90s and no explorers aren't valid on the 713

Ah, how much are child returns then?

Only a 30 minute round trip - you are able to connect with the 6, 16 and X70 at Flint Hill (6 and 16 also at Stanley) if you only wish to go in 1 direction.

Only used Hunters a few times, but this was over a decade ago when they would sometimes throw out a Bedford on the service.

Great photos Gary, that brings back memories for me. I was up at Hunter's yard not so long ago. They were fine around me looking around. They also opened up the GEM Travel garage and invited me in to take photos.

Well worth a visit.

As Charles has said Garry wonderful pictures the Coach you posted in the picture was sold to WH Fowler of Holbeach in 2006. Does anyone know what happened to the short Bedford/Dulpe that was turned into a recovery vehicle around 2008/9.Speaking of GEM Travel was it called Trappas Travel as they used to park in Hunters yard.

It looks like Hunters will cease trading at the end of August. The Flinthill-Stanley service will likely transfer to Stanley travel.

Thats a surprise to me as they have been buying some newer Coaches recently Hunters are one of the longest running Firms Co Durham and years ago used to buy Brand new Coaches and Buses as well as wagons but where as other long standing firms seemed to keep expanding and bought modern vehicles ever few years hunters seemed to just keep plodding on with ageing vehicles and not expand at all as i say its shame if its true.

Such a shame I remember first visiting Hunter's yard in about 1989 and looking round. I'm going to try and have a final visit in the next few weeks.

Forgot to mention a few weeks back, but ex-Hunter's L948CRU was purchased by Workington Transport Heritage Trust. It has been added to their Operators Licence for their trip programme.

I'm just aware of the four; KX12ATO to Falcon Coaches, W363ABD to PCL, L948CRU to WTHT and XIL3675 to Alpha Recovery for scrap.
