They're constantly buying and selling, including the 4 on ebay... Not easy to keep up some times!

Hadn't noticed the others until I looked at their profile on eBay...

For reference, if anyone wants to know which other vehicles are currently up for sale:

This arrived into Middlesbrough last night at 2115 as I was going out, I presume on the Megabus M12 as that is due in at 2050.

RE: Snowdons
Sold from the school bus fleet, presumably due to losing East Durham College work, are Van Hool T8 B10M's H727PEF, H973KDY and RJI7949 though I don't know who they have gone to.
Scania Irizar PB NH54WMD (former Abbotts OK54AOL apparently?) has gone to Solitaire Travel in Essex

Joining SF07YTR in the fleet is another sister Panther, SF07YTY - both seen together here...

Noticed a Snowdons coach heading south on the A19 on Friday evening.
It was passing Hutton Henry and was displaying 'on hire to Megabus' or similar. No number display or indication of where its destination was.
