RE: Phoenix Coaches - jimmoc - 23 Jan 2018 Phoenix have got fiat bluebird for sale on fb RE: Phoenix Coaches - Tom - 05 Mar 2018 Looks like Phoenix are running the 808 from the 13th march RE: Phoenix Coaches - BJ10VUS - 06 Mar 2018 (05 Mar 2018, 6:44 pm)Tom Looks like Phoenix are running the 808 from the 13th march I've pulled this from Vosa, but it seems to be missing a few details for the service. Interesting that it isn't covered by subsidies when it wasn't making a profit? Registration number: PB1126436/11 RE: Phoenix Coaches - Jimmi - 09 Mar 2018 (06 Mar 2018, 11:15 am)BJ10VUS I've pulled this from Vosa, but it seems to be missing a few details for the service. Interesting that it isn't covered by subsidies when it wasn't making a profit? The registration now has the details added. Registration number PB1126436/11 RE: Phoenix Coaches - Jimmi - 09 Mar 2018 (09 Mar 2018, 12:33 am)Jimmi The registration now has the details added. Timetable can be found here: https://www.nexus.org.uk/sites/default/files/documents/bus/808-PHO-180318.pdf Some more info I found somewhere on Facebook: Four tenders were received for the 808 service. The successful operator will be Phoenix Taxis who are based in Blyth They will use 22 seater coaches that have 2014/15 plates The service will leave Otterburn at 07:00 (five minutes earlier than the present service) The ticket cost will increase for a single ticket from present figure of £3.80 to £4.50 and for a return from £6.50 to £7.60. However I am advised it is likely there will be a weekly ticket available that should reduce costs. Phoenix Taxis will start the service from 19 March hence no gap in the service.

Very good if you consider gne charge two pounds ten from deckham to newcastle adult single. A distance of two miles. It's about thirty miles from Newcastle to otterburn. Wonder If phoenix will outstation a vehicle at otterburn overnight. Charles RE: Phoenix Coaches - BJ10VUS - 11 Mar 2018 (09 Mar 2018, 2:33 am)Jimmi Timetable can be found here: https://www.nexus.org.uk/sites/default/files/documents/bus/808-PHO-180318.pdf The timetable looks to be a lot more achieveable. The old PCL timetable suggested just a 7 minute journey time between Newcastle and Ponteland - no idea how they got away with that for so long? RE: Phoenix Coaches - missedbus - 11 Mar 2018 The other change is the route - Phoenix have registered the route along Fenham Hall Drive with a "Fenham" timing point there as well. RE: Phoenix Coaches - GuyParkRoyal - 19 Mar 2018 Bluebird SJ16 BGY is on the 808 this morning. RE: Phoenix Coaches - OrangeArrow49 - 21 Apr 2018 What is the Single fare on the 808 between Kenton Bank Foot and Newcastle St Thomas Street?

I don't think it stops there as when PCL had it the first stop was Ponteland. RE: Phoenix Coaches - OrangeArrow49 - 22 Apr 2018 (22 Apr 2018, 7:48 am)S830OFT I don't think it stops there as when PCL had it the first stop was Ponteland. I am not sure. Kenton Bank Foot is listed online. Anyone have any idea on fares? Thanks. RE: Phoenix Coaches - GuyParkRoyal - 07 Sep 2018 Optare Solo's 905 & 907 are for sale on ebay.

Random... RE: Phoenix Coaches - S830OFT - 05 Dec 2018 (05 Dec 2018, 2:00 pm)RBZ 5459 An interestingly random timetable that has appeared on Nexus site: PB1: Ashington - Cramlington - Newcastle on Boxing Day Probably an extra service to Arriva, is it likely they will use a decker? RE: Phoenix Coaches - LVK 404L - 05 Dec 2018 It's running mid afternoon to late evening on Boxing Day. Very strange as no late kick off match involved as originally thought. RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 06 Dec 2018 It supplies a local service between Ashington, Cramlington, Bedlington & Blyth (with no service on the 1, 2, 19 and 43), so quite handy if it does run. |
