(14 Jun 2020, 6:41 am)Dan wrote Two directly from Go North East (5211 and 5223), three which had been loaned from East Yorkshire (5226, 5231, 5232).

The five B7s which were on loan to Go Cornwall Bus have now been returned to East Yorkshire as a result. They were not used during their time at Go Cornwall Bus due to the pandemic.

One of the operators which went bust 4 or 5 years ago had some ex-NE based vehicles.

Will be interesting to do some more digging to see which ones are still going.

Still quite a few of the ex GNE MPDs kicking around, saw a pic of ex 511 / X511WRG still in service with Regent Coaches down in the South East recently. When I had a trip to Cornwall in October I found ex 541 & 603 in St Ives
541 / NA52AXF - St Ives Minibus Services: https://flic.kr/p/2jWCqbz
603 / NK54NTX - Royal Buses: https://flic.kr/p/2k5GC4X

Coincidentally I am doing much the same type of trips to Wales in the summer with a mix of bus & rail.

Did any of the GNE Cadets/Merits survive and move on or did they end up in the great big scrap yard in the sky?

It's Dan Annis preserved Volvo B10BLE Wright Renown X922 WGR 

It does work when they need a bus

On Saturday (and the Saturday before that), I went through Philadelphia and passed this building, which appeared to have an ex-GNE Olympian in it; it was in Yellow Buses livery whatever it was.

Anyone know anything about this, or can point me in the right direction to get more info on it? It's certainly peaked my curiosity.
