Pygalls Olympian decker R395 LGH, was back at its old haunt of Sunderland Park Lane on service 230 from Hartlepool today.

Didnt appear to be any passengers on it at all, does anyone know how well the service is doing?

Is the 87A/87B every 30 mins in Stockton?

Every hour (leaves on the hour). Saturdays there's an hour break between 1 and 2 to allow the same driver to do the full day.

It depends. Most of this week it has been R952XVM (which has been on them since yesterday afternoon when S467GUB broke down). Note, no changeover bus on a Saturday.

Right, cheers for the help. Is there any other independents worth photographing round the Teesside and Darlo area?

Schoolday weekdays - Croft Coach Travel do the Town Riders in Middlesbrough (school holidays they only operated at peak times). Leven Valley and Compass Royston are the other two main ones on Teesside. Darlington, there's Dales & District and Scarlet Band.

You could always try and find one of leven valley's darts with the updated livery, they definatley look the part!

Leven Valley have an alx200 in stock, don't know about it's reg because i quickly saw it at mill lane bus stop on route 45! Teesside really is becoming a home for ALX buses!

The reg is Y10DPC but it's reportedly due to be re-registered as it is currently on private plates.
