European Travel Group (Durham City, Enterprise & Lee's) - tyresmoke - 21 Feb 2016

New thread to merge the discussion of the following three operators:

- Durham City Coaches
- Enterprise Travel
- Lee's of Durham

Now all part of the same group - named European Travel Group

Vehicles are being moved around the group as and when required, with expansion expected for the 2016 season. A new livery is also being introduced at all three operators, to give the same look across the whole group.

As worn by Durham City YJ10JYW

Volvo B10M Jonckheere N2DCC is re-registered to N228RGA and transferred to Enterprise, along with Berkhof FJ05AOE.

Durham City Volvo Olympian R114LHK has been re-registered to the N2DCC plate.

Bova YJ07DVY has been re-registered to JSV487 but I'm unsure what's happened to the Premier that previously wore that plate!?

Another boring white livery! Used to like Durham City Coaches livery.
And Lee's even moreso come to that!

I can recall when Durham City was a very high profile operator and Lees always had a nice livery too with decent Coaches too.

Have just seen Lee's ELZ 3700 with the new livery applied and it actually looks really smart. It looks like even though all 3 companies will carry the 3 swooshes, the colours are individualised, so the Lee's one is all blue.

Unfortunately, I had to hold onto Littl'un for dear life, as he'd noticed the change, too, and would probably have chased it, given half a chance, which meant I couldn't get my phone out and activate the camera in time, before it left the bus stop. I'll try to be ready tomorrow - in fact, I'll tell big'un to take his camera out, as he'll be with us.

RE: European Travel Group (Durham City, Enterprise & Lee's) - Divvyd - 25 Feb 2016

Jsv 487 has become T352BBR

RE: European Travel Group (Durham City, Enterprise & Lee's) - Divvyd - 25 Feb 2016

Just to clarify....

All 3 companies remain individual...

All have separate liveries despite being part of the European travel group!!

For an updated fleet lid throughout the group contact me as I have a compete list including additions

Saw an Enterprise example in the new livery the other day, they have green swooshes. Doesn't look bad

Were Enterprise green before?

Missed the lee's one every time, btw - big'un forgot his camera on Friday and it came past rather too fast, by the time we had a clear shot, as it had to get past an awkwardly parked ice cream van and let a load of cars through the other way

RE: European Travel Group (Durham City, Enterprise & Lee's) - tyresmoke - 01 Mar 2016

When I did an X12 on Friday I passed a couple in the new livery, H184DVM from Lee's and one of the T9s from Durham City

RE: European Travel Group (Durham City, Enterprise & Lee's) - BusLoverMum - 18 Mar 2016

I noticed, this week, that ELZ 3700 might have shiny new vinyls, but it's an absolute rustbucket underneath!

RE: European Travel Group (Durham City, Enterprise & Lee's) - Andreos1 - 18 Mar 2016

Noticed one of the group on the motorway the other day.
It was sporting the new logo
Reminded me of the Northumberland County logo with the red and yellow/orange.

RE: European Travel Group (Durham City, Enterprise & Lee's) - tyresmoke - 23 Oct 2016

Lee's Volvo B12B MEZ9978 is now re-registered as 273GYE.
Mercedes 273GYE is now back as SV53ELJ - has it been sold?
MEZ9978 is now on an older Volvo B10M but I have no idea what.
Joining the fleet at Lee's recently is Volvo B10M Premiere N2SFC.
The majority of the fleet across all operators is now in the new group standard livery.
