(26 Jul 2014, 6:44 am)Dan Looked further back on here...
Unit 12/13, Alexandra Business Park, Riverside South, Sunderland, SR4 6UG
That's the one in Sunderland, and Gary, I believe it's all private and you can't get any where near for photographs.

(29 Dec 2013, 6:23 pm)NEBCD Malarkey I believe I may of got the First photo of J961 TBW on Boxing Day, I certainly don't recall it being Mentioned as it had Reportedly joined Pygalls way back in January.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/adammalarkey/11567916296/
J961 TBW has quite few former owners, It started it's life Overseas in China working for Chinese Operator (China and Lightpower), it then moved back over to the UK where it was Built and Joined the Kinches of Minety Fleet, where it Operated Scholars Services in Glouchester, In December 2012 Kinches lost all there Scholars Contracts and all there Vehicles were Withdrawn, I would think this was Withdrawn and Sold to Mortons of Little London, Mortons are Based in the Hants and Dorset Area, and they did them up and sold them on, With J961 TBW being Sold to Pygalls. Nevertheless a Mystery Solved.

New addition to the fleet is Dennis Javelin N471EUG
Also, Volvo B12B FN04JZU has taken up the K1PYG plate.
Not aware of any other changes but there is a possibility that J961TBW has been sold.

Went to Newcastle to pick parents up from the Airport this afternoon and had a spare half hour so had a quick drive around some independents in Peterlee. Didn't go into any yards (most of them were locked up) but seen from the outside at Pygalls were F114TML, CN09JCJ, K1PYG, K5PYG (Neoplan), K794OTC, P167ANR, and Solo Y293PDN (still branded for the Castle Shuttle on Holy Island). Also another yellow coach was hidden behind K794OTC. No sign of any others but I think they may still have another yard in Sunderland?

(11 Jun 2015, 4:57 pm)Dan Would be nice to see Pygall's Coaches return to the streets, offering public services again.
Sadly their last commercial ventures didn't work out amazingly well.
