Unfortunately
@Winston I have no idea
Heres a picture of it at depot (not my photo) - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153602560284221&set=gm.434492236759502&type=3&theater
Looks as though Harry Shaw have recently taken delivery of at least 3 x Volvo B11R / Caetano Levantes tri-axle for NX route 230 - BX65WCR/WCO/WCT
Type BC65WCU into the Flickr photo site for more details ! ! They look to be getting into NX coach work big time . . . . . . . ;)

@B61 ANDREW - Thanks for pointing that out. The 230 is a former Yourbus route which was taken off them for poor performance. The title of the photogrpahs & subsequent comments do not fill me with convindence - 'how the mighty have fallen' / possibly lost of load of tour work / poor tour reviews / potentially reported to VOSA / 27 drivers short for NX work......

Travel shop now in an office at the top of the lane that goes down to the Coventry depot.
Had a nice surprise yesterday as catching our return Setra coach to Larnaca airport on Cyprus , after about ten minutes into our journey, I noticed that on the pouches for holding newspapers etc on the back of coach seats was the wording "Harry Shaw City Cruisers". With some research and a lot of trawling through photo's on Flickr , I have found that we were travelling on the former BX04NCC , now carrying TKVH771 and owned by Xanthos Coaches of Larnaca. 8)

Always next time !! !! I have some more "research" to do to try and identify a couple of Wright bodied buses - suggestions that they could of been ex-BakerBus and an Optare bodied bus in red livery which may or may not of been ex-London Buses. ;)
It is being reported Harry Shaw has taken over some or all of the Harrington t/a Bakers work from Reaseheath college.
I went out today and they do appear to be covering their work.
TIL6715, MJI7514, GU52WSY, WX53WFP, RJI6155 ex Damory plus PO17EJN, YN14MVX, PO58HOJ.
.
Presumably they have a local OC.
Saw a white Scania B4 COV with G2 Travel logo on the side. Could this be a Harry Shaw coach?

Its 84 COV Scania Omniexpress from Harry Shaw
Last weeks N&P has Harrington's licence revoked after a public enquiry and today's without one!
;
Surprised Shaw hasn't added a local OC.

At least two MAN/Mobipeople are PO68BYT/U for Reaseheath college work - the latter at least carries branding "way ahead in Staffordshire and Cheshire" rather than Reaseheath logos.
Can anyone please advise me which Tourismo carries the reg 3 COV , noted this afternoon outside Coventry railway station. 8)
On Reaseheath 4 today was BL64MFN ex Abingdon Coaches - it had legals for Irizar, Worksop which seems odd for a dealer hire.

Is there a HS fleet list?

Thanks Tony
Hello,
Not been on the forum myself for a while but any Harry Shaw/Expat questions I will try my best to answer!
As looked at above, the Tourismo with 'Harry Shaw' on the side in blue, is 3 KOV, Ex BU14SYS and is mainly used on the contract routes.
Mercedes Vario/Plaxton Cheetah SF08FTA is being re painted into the new orange (the same orange as BV19YKX/YKY), I have had a sneaky look, and it looks absolutely brilliant.

Hi for light relief I research fleets. I've attached what I believe to be the current fleet.
My question is what is the the original registration of H5HST?
Thanking you in advance.
BF15 HDU is H5 HST
Hi Tony many thanks for the prompt reply. Do you happen to know if BF15LBO is still with the fleet, I know that it has been reregistered?

That one is HST11
Tony sorry to be a pain, but this leaves me with YN16UAD, again I know to be reregistered but suspect has left the fleet.
The rest of the fleet seems to be correct and you are more than welcome to use the data if it helps.
Best wishes.

It is MIL 2410 with Milligan, Mauchline
HST11 and H5 HST are currently at Coventry too.
Stoke On Trent have its either 4 or 5 Expat Mercedes Tourismo's currently whilst Coventry have the Stoke Scania Irizars, YR17CYH etc.
Day trips and holidays cancelled till 22nd July. It's a sad time for the coach industry it really is.
Vehicle movements seen this morning. One of the YN15 plates was driven into the HS yard this morning and about 10 mins later one of the HST plates was driven out.
I overtook H5 HST on the M6 heading north near junction 13 just before 9.00 this morning
3 passed me heading North on the M6 between J9 & 10 around half 1 this afternoon.
Business is starting again. BV19 YKY on a day trip to the coast.

A nice bit of publicity for Harry Shaw coaches on BBC Breakfast TV this morning. Some archive footage from a few years back too .
Hope HS is doing OK. I haven't seen them on the road for ages.

The Mill Lane Coventry base seems quiet these days. Have they stopped using it?
