Supposedly running around without and operators disc in the window and with the destination screen stuck on 'bus reversing' and was like that for 2 days. At least 2 drivers there haven't done their walkaround checks properly and D&G should have done an inspection on the bus before sending it out to ensure it was compliant with all legislation.

D&G are the 'Red Group' of the north at this rate. Complete and utter cowboys.

The vehicle was 9031 with Go North East, but only for a 3 month period earlier this year. It had previously been with Falcon in Guildford, and was last with Somerset Passenger Solutions, so it would seem to be a dealer loan vehicle.

D&G have been buying some ex-Mistral vehicles from The Bus Shop. I can't see that particular vehicle on their website (either as sold or on sale) but YX19 ONS is listed, as is YX68 ULV (with D&G currently having ULW and ULY).
