Mr Google suggest Rowell of Prudhoe - at least that's a local operator, so it may actually be right?

I passed a Transdev Wright Saloon (possibly Volvo B10) learner bus at 0745 in Coxhoe this morning. Would anyone happen to know where is there nearest depot as they aren't a company I'm familiar with.

Speaking of Transdev if a 840/843 breaks down at Whitby or Scarborough who goes to it, as its over 1 hour in a van.
Similar for GNE if an X21 breaks down its 50 mins atleast with no traffic from Riverside, however only 30 mins from Consett so wouldn't it make more sense just for consett to fix it.

Harrogate is probs the closest with not much more time & distance from here to the depots at York & Malton.

Malton depot, one would assume

Transdev use a driving test centre in Darlington when Steeton and Wetherby are fully booked, so it may be that they're on a test route.

i swear i saw a coach on the A19 at Cramlington with "PETERLEE ONE" on the side when heading to work yesterday... pygalls/north east coachways' latest reincarnation, perhaps?
RE: Unknown local spottings / Unknown operator questions - RM2186 - 26 May 2023
I saw it today on the A19, it's a Caetano Levante

There's a red open top Routemaster parked on a driveway in Low Fell (opposite the Springfield Care Home)
Is this the one that belongs to MG? He happens to get off the bus there quite a bit!

Erm, where's the posts in the stalking or celeb commuters thread?

Would anyone know who this belongs to? I caught it running light yesterday along past Garnetts Coaches depot in Bishop Auckland yesterday.
registration number is FJ07 WGF as I can’t find anything on Flickr other than when it was in Cornwall and Nottingham.

Just saw Arriva North West Pulsar 2696 (CX58 EWJ) heading southbound on the A1(M) near Junction 62. Not sure what this it doing up here?

Heading for Arriva Yorkshire as part of an exchange of Pulsars with Arriva Merseyside. I believe Liverpool have an age limit on service buses now and 58 reg buses are too old !

Some new arrivals at Riverside, guessing these are just passing through to be charged before moving on to their intended operator.
There’s also a couple of Yutong EV deckers and a white single decker as well there.
