Anyone know if they are doing a shuttle or big private hire in the Durham area today as I have just seen a large number of their double deckers near Durham Railway Station (the stop outside County Hospital the 49/49A stops at).

426/436 are the South Shields-London runs. 425/435 are the Ashington ones and as yet no operator has been revealed for those.

Wonder what they will use on that then, would imagine they would have to get a Low Floor Minibus from somewhere.
Its also great to see an Independent Operator expanding so rapidly over the past year.

I've just had some information from Mr Brown at JH Coaches, and he believes that they are going to purchase either a Enviro 200 or Plaxton Primo for the 23 route.

Hopefully they will get an Enviro 200. Seating layout on the Primo's are strange and I don't Primo's are considered to be the most reliable buses.
