HOWEVER 

I have no idea what any of the codes mean so if anyone can find them out. That would be fantastic

DM Motor Services is an interesting one considering they're based in Tockwith. However I've seen mention one of their vehicles being parked in West Cornforth due to a driver living there.

Whilst I've personally have seen one of their coaches parked around Holy Cross, Wallsend. It was on St Peters Road (seen here - https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photog...5059274758) before it disappeared for a while, it then reappeared parked down in Wallsend Burn (Bottom of Rosehill Bank and Church Bank) for about a week at the beginning of June, it has since disappeared again.

Does anyone know if JH Coaches have retained the 941 from September or not? Thanks.

To summarise, the current number of contracts awarded to each operator is:
- Arriva North East: 2 (-2)
- DM Motor Services: 2 (+2)
- Go North East: 12 (-15)
- JH Coaches: 8 (-22)
- L&G Coaches: 12 (+10)
- Northstar: 19 (+14)
- Stagecoach North East: 14 (+0)
- Stanley Travel: 17 (+13)

A big win for SMEs, in the main, with large reductions at Go North East and JH Coaches.

No clue. Have to find out when services are registered to the company

Very interesting. Good to see L&G, Northstar and Stanley Travel win so many contracts. Do you know what the codes mean? Particularly interested to find out who has been awarded the 941 contract.
