One of my favourite character actors ever has sadly passed away.

Fr Jack is no more, there's only Dougal left from everyone's favourite 3 priests.

What a rubbish year for celebrity deaths 2016 has been so far

We haven't had a new thread for a while - so let's start one.

I imagine there will be lots of nominations, so will start it off.

My first nomination goes to the driving instructor getting his learner driver to practice parallel parking about 250yds down the road from St Leonards in Durham. At chucking out time.

New thread to merge the discussion of the following three operators:

- Durham City Coaches
- Enterprise Travel
- Lee's of Durham

Now all part of the same group - named European Travel Group

Vehicles are being moved around the group as and when required, with expansion expected for the 2016 season. A new livery is also being introduced at all three operators, to give the same look across the whole group.

As worn by Durham City YJ10JYW


Volvo B10M Jonckheere N2DCC is re-registered to N228RGA and transferred to Enterprise, along with Berkhof FJ05AOE.

Durham City Volvo Olympian R114LHK has been re-registered to the N2DCC plate.

Bova YJ07DVY has been re-registered to JSV487 but I'm unsure what's happened to the Premier that previously wore that plate!?

New here is Volvo B10M Premier M513MFX and another (Van Hool T8) from Pulham's

A thread to discuss railtours.

UK Railtours are organising two HST trips.

17th April sees a tour start at Paddington and head to Exeter and Barnstaple.

On the 7th May, a set will depart St Pancras and head to Cleethorpes via the East Midlands and South Yorkshire (using freight lines on the way)

Quite lucrative, it seems
