Since Eddie Brown are launching services to York it would be good to have a section for what comes into their fleet and what leaves.

Just seen an 05 reg Dart, heading off the A1 at Whetherby all white, unsure if it's for Eddie Brown, but could be.

Omnicities, Wright Solars, Scania East Lancs ? What sort of age range they looking at ? Why would they be looking at full size singles especially when from the looks of things, the routes don't warrant that capacity in terms of demand and the use of narrow country lanes. |

That a good Point Jack, when you look at the Ripons>York maybe they would warrant a big bus, but the Wetherby>Yorks and Harrogate>Ripons won't need much bigger than a Medium Dart. |

I remember a few years ago Eddie Brown sold off some operations to Stephensons including various old Plaxton Supreme, Plaxton Paramount and Duple Dominant coaches.
Wonder if same happened with Nottingham operation.
