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.
New buy for Peter Hogg in Newcastle today on service 131 is Optare Excel YN53WZJ, another former Munro's motor.
