There is a Volvo Bus and Truck Centre up at Ayton, further up the road from the Holiday Inn if you were heading towards Crowther Industrial Estate, But from what you have said above I say it was a Scholars Service.

I was heading towards Biddick/St Roberts along the A195 from the direction of Makro. This was going in the opposite direction NIS.
