Re: RE: PYGALLS COACHES - Dan - 26 Jul 2014 (25 Jul 2014, 10:12 pm)Banksy66 wrote I don't see in the fleet list listed CN09JCJ is this still with pygalls??Our independent fleet lists are still a work in progress, with small progress being made in addition to other projects. If a vehicle is not included in the fleet list, it's likely to be down to the fact it wasn't in the fleet prior to December 2013, when Scott last updated the fleet lists on his website (which we've copied onto here and later edited to match present day fleet status).

Didn't go into any yards (most of them were locked up) but seen from the outside at Pygalls were F114TML, CN09JCJ, K1PYG, K5PYG (Neoplan), K794OTC, P167ANR, and Solo Y293PDN (still branded for the Castle Shuttle on Holy Island). Also another yellow coach was hidden behind K794OTC. No sign of any others but I think they may still have another yard in Sunderland?

Sadly their last commercial ventures didn't work out amazingly well.

Was a shame that it didn't work out too well. Think the final nail in the coffin was changing the 230 route to run to Seaham at least when it went to Sunderland it often had at least a few passengers on-board whereas every time I saw it when the route was changed it carried fresh air around the Dalton Park area.

PygallsCoachesVIL6684 by Mark Haldon, on Flickr RE: PYGALLS COACHES - tyresmoke - 16 Sep 2015 Spotted with Pygalls in Stockton on Monday night was Scania Van Hool NIL6340 (ex Ted Wilford and Roberts) RE: PYGALLS COACHES - BusLoverMum - 16 Sep 2015 (11 Jun 2015, 5:02 pm)Jimmi wrote X27.

Don't think many people were indeed aware of the services existence, it carried a few passengers but seemingly not enough for it to continue. Pretty much the same story with their 230 service as well, not many were aware of that either. The decision to run the 230 to Seaham instead of Sunderland was a mistake as it always seemed empty when it got to Dalton Park.

I had no idea until big'un found out about it through some slightly obsessive googling, recently.
