Guessing some of the private registrations a re now with the lees family on a private basis because the older coaches haven't regained private registrations when repainted. This may be to do with the businessman who brought into Lees and Durham city coaches. Both families seem to run the respective businesses still though so think he is a big shareholder in both companies.

Number plate ALL1 73Y is still on Lees Coach I noticed it this afternoon while the coach was setting down students at the bus stop outside of Coral's in Chester le Street at 15.50. I'm not sure which coach it is as I only got a quick look at the rear of the coach which was in Lees livery.
