With regards to your enquiry, please see below:-

Seating in the Tridents - I note they're 73 seaters, originally 60 (39/21) - 28 Lower, 45 Upper
Seating detail for M135UWY (I'm guessing a 70 seater?) - 53 Seater

I will investigate this with the driver concerned and get back to you.

(I've got a model of 251, G251SRG!)

(27 Feb 2015, 1:27 pm)Malarkey wrote Where abouts in Birtley is the JH Depot based, is it near to Kingsleys on Portobello Industrial Estate, was one the depots I was planning on visiting at some point next week.

(27 Feb 2015, 1:46 pm)Malarkey wrote Post Code must be incorrect as this comes up as being on Front Street in Chester le Street which is also called Fell Bank according to Google Maps, DH3 2SP is (Front Street), DH2 2ST is (Birtley) as at a guess I would think it is a 5-10 Minute walk from where Kingsleys are Based.

(27 Feb 2015, 1:59 pm)Andreos1 wrote They're at the top of Fell Bank near the Ford dealership. Portobello Road (the one that runs parallel to the motorway), runs along the top of Fell Bank and whatever road (Sharon?) that Kingsleys are in.
