Very late including this but new at Croft Coach Travel for the Town Rider services is ex-Nottingham Solo W959PAU. Since this photo was taken it has been fitted with a destination blind.

They are seeing use on almost all their services except the X49 since that uses branded YG55 YGM. I've seen them on the 47 to the 85 to the 58.

There was one on the Spennymoor area 110/1/5 on Monday ... so yes anywhere on their network. Expect they'll start sticking to Hartlepool's (33/58) and Teesdale area services 83/84/85/95/96

Some major developments taken place over the last few days:

Leven Valley
Enviro200 T12GAJ had return to Mistral in last October having been re-registered MX59ZCL.
New memebers of the fleets ex-K&H Doyles are MPDs W793/4VMV and V331CVV. An ex-Go Ahead London Y-TGH example is also on fleet strength. W794VMV was out in service yesterday on the early morning 505/506 and the first 507 trip before presumably appearing on the 18/19/45/492 runs after the driver's break.

RE: North East Independents
Hi, just wondering whether anyone knows of a 'Tyne and Wear Bus Company' - according to what I've found, they're based in South Shields, but I've never heard of them?

I found an article on the ''Passenger Transport'' website, (link to the story here), and apparently they have a £436,000 'Green Bus' grant.

I don't know much about the company either, but it looks like there has been some licensing trouble as of late.
