RE: Phoenix Coaches - Jordan2104 - 06 Dec 2018 Is it not there party bus there advertising on facebook RE: Phoenix Coaches - RBZ 5459 - 07 Dec 2018 (06 Dec 2018, 10:52 pm)Jordan2104 Is it not there party bus there advertising on facebook That's on New Years Eve. RE: Phoenix Coaches - Dan - 07 Dec 2018 (07 Dec 2018, 10:38 am)RBZ 5459 That's on New Years Eve. It's on both - the Boxing Day one is a bit further down their feed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/phoenixtaxisnorthumberland/posts/2217115768547246 RE: Phoenix Coaches - RBZ 5459 - 07 Dec 2018 (07 Dec 2018, 11:54 am)Dan It's on both - the Boxing Day one is a bit further down their feed on Facebook: Well that's the 20:00 departure anyway, pre-book tickets but public timetable - "Plenty of music and your very own host with complimentary shots to get the party started"..... Turning up for the advertised service as a member of the public onto a bus full of partygoers - not something I would of thought Nexus would promote as a service on their site......... pretty sure it's illegal drinking on public buses, imagine the complaints back to Nexus. There's a rabbit off there somewhere.....

Pretty sure anything regarding food and drink on a bus is just down to a bylaw or company policy. In England anyway. There's the sporting event alcohol ban, but don't think there's anything illegal about drinking on a service bus. There's certainly ethics to consider if they're giving away free drink. RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 09 Dec 2018 Not as handy as I thought then haha RE: Phoenix Coaches - RBZ 5459 - 10 Dec 2018 Unsurprisingly, it has been removed from the Nexus bus timetable site. Although the original link I posted is still active. RE: Phoenix Coaches - GuyParkRoyal - 05 Mar 2019 Phoenix have registered Howard Snaith's as their operating centre in Otterburn.

RE: Phoenix Coaches - tyresmoke - 31 Jul 2019 New for Phoenix is Yutong GT12 YD19HJU - rather smart albeit only in white... RE: Phoenix Coaches - Jimmi - 19 Aug 2019 As mentioned in the PCL Travel thread, Phoenix are taking over operation of service 15 from August 26th but on a more limited basis. From the same date the 808 will be revised to start/terminate at Haymarket Bus Station instead of St Thomas Street. RE: Phoenix Coaches - S830OFT - 19 Aug 2019 (19 Aug 2019, 1:52 pm)Jimmi As mentioned in the PCL Travel thread, Phoenix are taking over operation of service 15 from August 26th but on a more limited basis. Wonder if the North East Explorer tickets will still be valid? RE: Phoenix Coaches - OrangeArrow49 - 21 Aug 2019 (19 Aug 2019, 1:52 pm)Jimmi As mentioned in the PCL Travel thread, Phoenix are taking over operation of service 15 from August 26th but on a more limited basis. So the same vehicle will operate the 808 and 15? How come the 15 has been extended to Newcastle? What ticket will be needed on the 15? RE: Phoenix Coaches - S830OFT - 21 Aug 2019 (21 Aug 2019, 5:48 pm)OrangeArrow49 Monday to Friday it will be the same bus, although on Saturdays an additional bus will be used. RE: Phoenix Coaches - OrangeArrow49 - 21 Aug 2019 (21 Aug 2019, 8:33 pm)S830OFT Yeah, I thought so, as the 808 and 15 times don't fit together on Saturdays. I wasn't expecting the 15 to be extended to Newcastle. I'd like to give it a try sometime. RE: Phoenix Coaches - S830OFT - 21 Aug 2019 (21 Aug 2019, 10:19 pm)OrangeArrow49 Phoenix have 3x Fiat Bluebirds, aswell as some ALX400s... I think all the Optare Solos and MPDs were sold, therefore could only picture the above being allocated. RE: Phoenix Coaches - PhoenixCoaches1 - 22 Aug 2019 Hi all, Monday - Friday 808 service will end at St Thomas Street. This vehicle will then run the 15 from the Haymarket to Thropton. We decided to extend first and last part of the service to Newcastle as the bus will be travelling up there anyway - healthy competition for Arriva. On a Saturday, there will be 1 vehicle operating the 808 and a separate vehicle operating the 15. RE: Phoenix Coaches - Tom - 22 Aug 2019 (22 Aug 2019, 2:00 pm)PhoenixCoaches1 Hi all, Hi, thanks for the info. Is the 16 not operating at all anymore? RE: Phoenix Coaches - Jimmi - 22 Aug 2019 (22 Aug 2019, 2:14 pm)Tom Is the 16 not operating at all anymore? Someone in a Facebook group said service 16 was going to be ran by UCCT Upper Coquet Community transport with a 16 seater minibus but they were awaiting a PSV licence, so no idea if service 16 will still exist in any form or not. RE: Phoenix Coaches - OrangeArrow49 - 23 Aug 2019 (22 Aug 2019, 2:00 pm)PhoenixCoaches1 Hi all, Thanks for the information. Phoenix decided? I thought Northumberland County Council decided the route and timetable? Healthy competition for Arriva? Competing how? I agree it provides one alternative to Arriva, I noticed recently only Arriva operates from Newcastle to Alnwick, but they will be more frequent and probably cheaper? I'd use Phoenix to go to Alnwick instead of Arriva, but I'm not sure many people will. I like alternative services. (19 Aug 2019, 2:08 pm)S830OFT Unfortunately the North East Explorer will not be valid on the 15 apparently. |
