Interesting that they've been allowed to run such old vehicles when PCL and Borders Buses were forced into buying 13 plate Versas when they first took the contracts on.

YJ60 KHK is branded for the 473 whilst the other is 470 branded.

A correction to a comment I previously made is YJ54 UXH hasn't left the fleet as it was working service 470 today.

Few things to note are Glen Valley are accepting the annual tickets bought under PCL operation and the timetable is pretty much unchanged apart from the fact the services now start/terminate at the bus stop in the Sainsburys store car park in Alnwick.
