RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 16 Mar 2015
There is an 11-reg Solo on the 30.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 19 Mar 2015
Green-branded Optare Solo on 30.
KX53 SCZ was on the 30 yesterday. I believe that Phoenix may be having problems with the vehicle.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 21 Mar 2015
Forgot to report, 908, NJ11 EXJ was on the 30 yesterday.
There must be a problem with KX53 SCZ
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 26 Mar 2015
A Mercedes minibus that isn't on the fleet lists has had it's reg changed to A16 PNX.
I'll check my photos and I'll give you the previous reg.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 14 Apr 2015
Mercedes Vario/Plaxton Cheetah YN58CGO has been re-registered A14 PNX.
I'll have a look through my photos tomorrow for A16PNX.

(01 Feb 2015, 5:00 pm)tyresmoke Ok I've spent some time this afternoon updating the fleetlist for Phoenix
Let me know if you have any additions. I'm reluctant to add the minibuses as they can change so often but the Iveco seeing as it gets used on PSV routes I've added.
Some or all of these are not owned/operated by Phoenix, but by other companies that run and maintain these on behalf of Phoenix, like a contract really.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 02 May 2015
Here is 911/A14 PNX (previously YN58CGO). The fleet number is just below the right-hand side headlights.

905 (the 59reg) is on the 30 today.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 12 May 2015
900 - Renault Master. Not the best photo.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 21 May 2015
Phoenix Day Tours brochure now available. Few interesting ones - Mystery trip of Northumberland, Carlisle, Blackpool, Beamish, Metrocentre, Airshow and more. Pick-up points include Morpeth Bus Station, Ashington Wetherspoons (Stand G), Newbiggin, Blyth, Cramlington Manor Walks, Bedlington and a few more places.
Not sure about the "Metrocentre at Christmas" one, cant do six-ish hours at the Metrocentre, mind.
Brochures available on certain buses, via phone and online iirc.

Phoenix have acquired an ALX400, KV02 URY. It's currently working service 30.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 05 Jun 2015
Some Phoenix vehicles now have "Phoenix Coaches (NE) Ltd" instead of "Readypay Ltd" on the legals.
Also OCZ 8001 is new here, some sort of Mercedes minibus thing.

KV02 URY has Phoenix Coaches (NE) Ltd as the legal owner. Phoenix Coaches (NE) Ltd is 73% owned by Readypay Ltd and 27% by Kenneth Turner of Fairway Mini Coaches Ltd according to Duedil. Readypay trades as Phoenix Taxis and Coaches.
I hope they change the livery of KV02 URY from the current all over white.

It would be nice to see it with Phoenix fleet names on, but only if it's not the hideous ones that they've applied to the Solo SR.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 08 Jun 2015
Vario OCZ8001 is on the 30 today. It is fleet numbered 921.

I've updated the fleetlist with all of your latest info.... if you can get photos of them and upload them to Flickr then I'll link the photos and make our list look even more complete

RE: Phoenix Coaches - Dan - 14 Jun 2015
Bit of news here is that 909 (XUO 354) has been re-registered as A12 PNX, matching the private cherished registration of sister 911 (A14 PNX).
