RE: Jim Hughes of Sunderland/Birtley - tyresmoke - 15 Jul 2015
Is there anything the gold livery doesn't suit?!
Out of interest any idea who the DLA next to it (DLA142) is for?
I am told the new Levante's for NX work are due to be delivered imminently too.

primos are not bad little buses better then a solo

I'm sorry, but they are not better than a Solo. All Primo's do is rattle, shake and break down. Whereas Solo's are constant performers.
RE: Jim Hughes of Sunderland/Birtley - omnicity4659 - 19 Jul 2015
I bet it's better than a Phoenix Solo held together with duct tape, Lee...!

Had it on for a year now and I'm surprised nowt has fallen off it yet at the high speeds between Ashington and Linton. The handlebars, bells and the window behind that driver was all held together with black duct tape.
RE: Jim Hughes of Sunderland/Birtley - jaimzm - 21 Jul 2015
When do they start service 23

I know how much you are going to miss Stanley Travel MPD OO05 STX with its Urban90s...

Oh yeah it's brilliant.....
It's the driver I'll miss the most. He's called Dougie and he's a lovely bloke. Know's all of his passengers.
But, I have to give this Primo a try.

Aye - he is a canny bloke. Thats the good thing with Stanley Travel - they allocate the same driver to the same service every day so after a while, all regulars will know him and he will know all regulars. I think he does every other Saturday with the old driver of the 706/707/708 around Stanley.

I think I may sample the JH Coaches Primo on the service one day next week, especially as I have yet to ride a Primo.
