(10 Sep 2015, 9:49 am)GX03 SVC wrote The 333 should be operated by Phoenix's NexusBus-branded Solo. The NexuBus Solo is usually VOR when the drivers chat, and how it's a heap of c**p just like the rest of the buses. 

I was going to say whatever operated the 23 (Washington-Barley Mow) would operate the 19, but they lost that Nexus contract.

I'm sure the 333 runs late in the evening, plus it's likely to be low on fuel by the end of the day, so it probably runs light to Blyth like before?

As for fuelling, I believe Phoenix use any Shell Petrol Station for their fuel. Certainly seen their vehicles filling up at Annitsford Shell and Shell in Byker.

(04 Sep 2015, 3:14 pm)GX03 SVC wrote KU02 YBP, same as KV02 URY was operating the 30 from 1000. Driver reports that there is two more unreported deckers, of the same type.

KU02 YBP carries Phoenix Coaches branding while KV02 URY carries Phoenix Taxis, Coaches and Buses branding.
