Another new addition to the fleet is as yet unidentified (previous identity) Dennis Javelin VIL6684 ex Heartlands judging by the colour scheme...

(11 Jun 2015, 5:02 pm)Jimmi X27.
Was a shame that it didn't work out too well. Think the final nail in the coffin was changing the 230 route to run to Seaham at least when it went to Sunderland it often had at least a few passengers on-board whereas every time I saw it when the route was changed it carried fresh air around the Dalton Park area.

(16 Sep 2015, 8:16 pm)BusLoverMum Old post, I know, but is that the X27 to the metrocentre? If so, it might have done better if potential passengers had been aware of its existence.Yeah the X27 was the Saturday only service they ran to the MetroCentre (via Washington Galleries). Don't think many people were indeed aware of the services existence, it carried a few passengers but seemingly not enough for it to continue. Pretty much the same story with their 230 service as well, not many were aware of that either. The decision to run the 230 to Seaham instead of Sunderland was a mistake as it always seemed empty when it got to Dalton Park.

(01 Oct 2016, 5:14 pm)tyresmoke I was wrong about this by the way - LHZ6353 appears to be V427DRA Dennis Trident
Anyone seen any of the deckers recently? Only DD with reg starting X653 would have to be X653LLX Volvo B7TL ex Metroline but thats a Plaxton President?!

Although I didn't see it happen, DVSA staff apparently sent a Pygalls coach away from St Andrews this afternoon after an inspection.
Although safe to drive back to the depot, it wasn't safe to carry passengers.
A replacement was sent.
