Does anyone have any pictures/clips of the 82/82A and 30/31 they would be happy for me to use?

You have a lot of amazing pictures! This is another fine example. Wonderful background and perfect angle of the bus.

How do you know where buses and coaches will be in order to photograph them?

I think the old style destination blinds look really good.

The ticket machines still need programming with the correct registrations - JH02 COM was correct this afternoon though.

Saw JH07 COM, a Wright Gemini still in full Tyrers livery, at Regent Centre last night (Friday) on Metro replacements.

Their fleet of Enviro 200s is increasing as well. LK09 ENX/EOB/EOC/EOD are all shown on Bustimes (but not tracking yet) and I have also seen ENY at the garage.

The two Volvo B9TL/Gemini are JH02 COM & JH07 COM - from the same batch (MX07 …) as the ones that GNE are getting from Manchester.

JH02COM = MX07BUW
JH07COM = MX07BVF

Also arrived that I’ve not seen mentioned is two former Nottingham Omnidekka’s YT59OZV/OZW from Atlantic Travel - one of those now has the JH09COM plate on it. I would bet the other has JH59COM.

JH seems to be aquiring a lot of buses granted most are probably for replacements for their Presidents & their Scania L94, which still runs well. 


But it doesn't seem like they've got a lot of contract work to do, they've only got the 82/30/31/701 for single deckers. They still have a few schools
