RE: Henry Coppers Coaches - Andreos1 - 04 Jul 2021 Mods: bit work for you. The existing thread in the Northumberland part of the forum needs to be moved to the Tyne & Wear part of the forum and merging with this one. Think we all need to read up on County Council border areas in the mean time so that lessons are learned and we don't make the mistake again.

I had thought it was in Northumberland, but looking at the County boundaries, it falls just inside of Tyne and Wear ![]() Henry Coppers might be based in Northumberland though.

GNE will probably be keeping the Hexham contracts but maybe the electric buses could transfer over to Henry Cooper and they could run the services? Be nice to see them operated by a Northumberland operator. I've never actually been to Hexham depot.

Be nice to see them operated by a Northumberland operator.Highly doubt they will. They seem to be more for School work and a contractor service work (that being the 392) RE: Henry Coopers - OrangeArrow49 - 26 Aug 2022 Last day of Henry Cooper Coaches operating the 392 today. No services will now be operated by them. RE: Henry Coopers - LVK 404L - 16 Sep 2022 Past few weeks Henry Coopers have been operating the 436 service in Morpeth, which is Green Mountain Travel Ive spotted it a few times when I've got back and forth. RE: Henry Coopers - Phillippatt - 17 Sep 2022 That will explain why i saw a Henry cooper's volvo eclipse in morpeth bus station. i thought it was a school trip or something Henry Coopers - tyresmoke - 01 Jan 2023 Eclipse OBR297 has been reregistered NL60AAY seen on rail replacement yesterday.

Doesn't look too bad actually. Difficult to catch because the services are infrequent. RE: Henry Coopers - Aaron21 - 31 Oct 2023 As requested last week.

Anyone know? Always been curious. RE: Henry Coopers - Rapidsnap - 26 May 2024 Henry Cooper is operated by the Grieves family (think a Grieves married Henry Coopers daughter - https://www.henrycoopercoaches.com/history/). But all 3 companies are indeed seperate. Cooper is a common name, it's just co-incidence there is 3 operators using the Coopers names.

Thanks for that was pretty sure the one in Bedlington was seperate, just thought it might have been one of those companies formed by an angry son or whatever. Mind never knew that about the other two, always assumed they were connected since they basically operate from the same site. James Cooper and Son is basically missing online. |
