Phoenix Coaches currently have KX08HMF on loan as seen here. Anyone know what is wrong with the usual 'NexusBuses' solo?

And I managed to photo the TB503

The new Town Rider services in Middlesbrough, the TR1 which is replacing the old 686 for the new college year and the TR2, will now not be operated by Tees Valley Coach Travel as they have withdrawn from the contract. As they are part of the same contract as the Middlesbrough College services, it seems they will also not being operating those.

Kingsley's have finally started painting their new buses. I really do think that they should invest in some LED or Flip Dot displays, as they would make the vehicles look a lot smarter.

Update on the Middlesbrough College saga, apart from new service MC13 (Northallerton), all other MC services are withdrawn as of tomorrow. Instead, College students will now have free travel on all Stagecoach and Arriva services into Middlesbrough (apart from Hartlepool service 1) and on the Town Rider services. The MC13 will also be operated by Croft Coach Travel.

Meanwhile, Tees Valley Coach Travel have been busy selling with the following vehicles now gone:

M694 HPF
TXI8764
N582/623 CKA
