County Coaches

Noticed a very brown Merc tonight.
Never seen or noticed it before - may be new, it may have been in the fleet a while.
SF06 ODX.

Noticed for my school's girl's netball team's game tonight that a Plaxton coach was being used.

I recognised the driver as a former GNE CLS-based Unit 2 driver - who I haven't seen in about a year!

Noticed a Volvo B10 coach registration N881EVV in County Coaches livery outside the Red Lion in Chester le Street yesterday first time I have seen this one.

I recognise the first part of that reg from the one I saw at Park View North Lodge on the netball run.

You appear to be a bit confused. The operator you are thinking of/asking a question about is Coastal and Country Coaches who are based at Whitby whereas this is thread is for County Coaches who are based at Chester-le-Street. I shall however PM you with an answer to your question.

Saw this working for County Coaches this afternoon.
Haven't seen it before, so presuming it is a fairly recent arrival.

Shown on our fleetlist here so they must have had it a few months. In a white livery still?

Never thought about checking there.
Aye, all white.

Aye, sure they do Headways work (or they did for the last few school years).

Andreos1 · 01 May 2015, 4:32 pm,

Saw what looked like a Bova heading back into the compound a short while back.
It had been on Headways work and was all white. Reg started WA04.

Looked in decent nick.

Hadn't seen any mention of it and certainly not seen it, so guessing a fairly recent arrival.

**tyresmoke** · 07 Jan 2018, 3:39 pm,

Confirmed above addition is WA04TYU Bova Futura. Another addition in recent times is Mercedes Cheetah YN10HHZ. Older vehicles appear to have been removed from the fleet

It appears they have a Solo. Saw one in what appeared to be plain white and displaying County Coaches on the LED blind.
Too far away to get any details unfortunately.

Chaos at Lindisfarne Roundabout and County Coaches are at the centre of it all.

The Police then blocked the nearside lane, for safety reasons, leading to tailbacks all the way to Whitemare Pool

Sounds like a nightmare that.

Here's SNE deciding to get in on the act.
