Funny question - does anyone know details about these buses? I joined the "eBus" game a couple of months ago and I'd like some new ones, but I want to sell the old ones first which kind of requires knowing what they are... P653 VWX - 'East lancs saloon' - type/chassis J18 BUS - Leyland National? - type/chassis/age A101JVT - Plaxton coach - type/chassis R112TKO/R108TKO/R815 YJC - Mercedes Vario - type/chassis I have looked these up on the internet (eg fotopic) but often different photos are tagged with contradictory information. Any help would be greatly appreciated  Edit - Mercedes not Plaxton!! |

How hideous is this?Thanks for those. That livery is pretty brash isn't it, they really didn't need to make the font so large as to spill onto the windows. Have they been taking inspiration from megabus?! |

Aye, its awful. What was up with the old livery?
J18 BUS - is it a Plaxton Derwent with a rebodied front?
Also, the Mercs look like 814Ds with Beaver 2 bodywork.

I may be on a trip to York Tomorrow including visits to Transdev, Pullman and Stephensons depots so I will keep you lot posted. |

Also, is J18 BUS on custom plates - I can't work out the age of most of Stephensons coach fleet on the grounds of being on Northern Irish plates (I could guess)? |

I lifted the info out of a couple of fleetbooks that I have. Unfortunately, I do find it hard to keep them up to date owing to their location as I don't drive and only have weekends free. Your best bet is to buy the latest edition of HB Publications Regional Bus Datafile for Yorkshire & The North East which has been updated to December 2010 (That reminds me, I'd better buy it myself!). They can be found here: hbpub.co.uk J18 BUS is a plate registered from new by the vehicles first owners which I believe was Hutchinson of Overtown in Scotland back in 1992. |

I never knew Stephensons operated in Pickering, North Yorkshire. Was suprised to see one of their B10B's there the other day.

They do run a number of school services in Pickering and all over Ryedale from their depot in Kirkbymoorside.

Is there a service between Easingwold and Pickering ? No, you need to change at York or Helmsley. |

Not to my knowledge. If you search the NYCC site for either 'easingwold' or '14', that route doesn't appear. Unfortunately, NYCC hasn't twigged that they actually need to remove timetables after they've been withdrawn rather than just stop listing them (despite the fact that I've told them twice). |

I noticed it wasn't listed then found the link through visiteasingwold.com, though I've just googled for a cancellation in N&P and can't see anything. Looks they run a lot of positioning trips on the 12/14/15. Incidentally the 40 has disappeared from the listings aswell  |

What do Stephensons base at Kirbymoorside ? A Mix of coaches, 1 or 2 Singles and couple of Double Deckers. For photos taken around 14 months back from both depots see this link: jimbosbus.fpic.co.uk/c1839369.html |
