Well, I can tell you about this. He has two coaches and one minibus. He lives in the middle of my street and he parks them around the corner. Both coaches are in a right state.

RE: Unknown local spottings / Unknown operator questions - Andreos1 - 06 Sep 2015 Just caught the back end of the 'party bus'. It was a black Metrorider. Didn't see reg to identify if it was a native example. Any ideas? RE: Unknown local spottings / Unknown operator questions - Jimmi - 07 Sep 2015 Saw this on Wednesday in Birtley. I searched the registration (P159FBC) on Flickr and most photos that came up showed it as being with Kingsley's but has now lost Kingsley's vinyls since the most recent photo on Flickr. Can anyone confirm if it is still with Kingsley's?

Wouldn't mind betting Altona have it. They park in Kingsleys yard too RE: Unknown local spottings / Unknown operator questions - Adrian - 07 Sep 2015 Anyone know who has this coach these days? YT12RKX. It was last based in Swindon (and in livery) from what I can see, but no information since then. I don't have much knowledge of coaching operations, but I believe that 'David Urquhart Travel' just act as an agency, rather than owning the coaches themselves?

Has anyone seen that old minibus at their garage surrounded by what appears to be Japanese knotweed? If so what is the registration?

The registration is T1 WEH. RE: Unknown local spottings / Unknown operator questions - Andreos1 - 29 Nov 2015 The auction place in Birtley, located on the corner of Portobello Road/Birtley Lane has a handful of plain white minibus type vehicles. The legals are on still visible, but couldn't see them in detail when passing. Might be worth someone checking them out, to see who they used to be belong to. RE: Unknown local spottings / Unknown operator questions - omnicity4659 - 30 Dec 2015 (23 May 2015, 5:35 pm)GX03 SVC wrote I've seen it loads recently on the A69 and A1, but a step entrance minibus with cycling related stuff on the side in blue, it's pre-2001 but I can't remember the reg. It hovers about the West Road/Westerhope areas. T314 JWA - it's a Mercedes minibus. RE: Unknown local spottings / Unknown operator questions - Deleted - 11 May 2016 Noted parked outside bede college in Sunderland today was DAF/vanhool S53VGV. It was with Adamson's of cramlington but today it had no names on so was wondering if it's still with them or has moved on. RE: Unknown local spottings / Unknown operator questions - Adrian - 09 Jun 2016 C800USG - does anyone have any info around this Volvo Citybus? More specifically what it's doing in County Durham. I know it was ex Stagecoach in Scotland, but it's last operator appears to have been Bedford. It's in the last blue and white livery now with vinyls removed, but twice now I've passed it on the A181. Has someone acquired it for preservation?

RE: Unknown local spottings / Unknown operator questions - Andreos1 - 27 Jun 2016 Not an unknown spotting (as I worked out the operator), but saw two unusual buses following each other at Testo's Roundabout earlier. Did a quick bit of research when I got a chance, but no idea what they're in the region for or if they were just passing through.
