(22 Jul 2026, 8:12 pm)LVK 404L wrote Def was operated by Redby as the 557 with Ok Travel also doing similar with 559 as I mentioned previously elsewhere. Think this was early 90s
The 557 Redby was Mon to Sat Daytimes
Seaburn to Fellgate Estate
The 559 OK Travel was Seaburn to South Shields (one hour round trip) Mon to.Sat Daytimes
The 558 at same time was Seaburn to Heworth Evening and Sundays, again OK Travel
Also incorporated was the 526 OK Travel evening and Sundays Seaburn to Jarrow (always remember this hitting news at time as a 526 driver was stopped and arrested in Whitburn area for driving whilst under influence of alcohol
The 526, 558 and 559 were all operated out of OK Travel Hunter Road depot Peterlee using a variety of single and double deck, buses, coaches and anything else at the time
Yes definitely Redby 557, I remember getting on one of their ex Darlington Corporation Dennis's in their Green and Black livery in Boldon Colliery in the early 80s.
