Help would be appreciated on info/history for this delightful vehicle(!).

(27 Nov 2013, 9:46 am)BusFanPrudhoe wrote The 131 was awarded on an emergency contract to Peter Hogg. One of Munro's Plaxton Beaver 2s was sold to Peter Hogg in January. The rest of the routes were allocated to First and Perryman's. Perrymans have established a new depot (with seperate operator licence) in St Boswells. Perryman's have also aquired new Optare Versa 11.7m buses for the routes.

The vehicle impressed me! I usually travel Go North East, and sometimes on GCT. Peter Hogg made a good first impression.  A more regular service (even say every 3 hours) would make it more useful.

Do you know if Northumberland timetables in the stops are viewable in PDF format like Nexus ones are?

The current timetable gets you into town for a reasonable time and back to Jedburgh for a reasonable time, allowing plenty opportunity for shopping etc, which I presume is why the service exists.
