I assume for the above, all DeCourcey NX work has been taken in-house?

As routes return they are not necessarily being allocated to the operators who operated them before. It looks like Walsall will not be getting any 444s (Worcester-London) but from next week have a PVR of 8, which is their highest ever, hence the transfer of 217 & 219 from Luton. There's also Travelstar European based in Walsall who are now being allocated work, not always the same as they had before, And Start Hill are running into the West Midlands.

I've seen pictures of Start Hill tri-axles on the 490 in Norwich, which was a Galloway's route pre Covid

Pressume the Stansted Airport routes are very quiet / low frequency if even back at all.

Looking at tracker at the moment, Start Hill currently have coaches on the
905 London - Newcastle
400 Wolverhampton - London
491 Norwich-London
507, Swansea - London
030 Fareham - London
075 London - Cambridge
035 Poole - London
along with 10 on the A6, and 3 on the A9 between Stansted and London

[winston]

Far & wide then. Makes sense to keep in-house fleet busy.

There's more on the A6/A9 than I was expecting.

[richie]

There is a Start Hill triable levante 3 which lays over at Wolverhampton daily.

Which coach routes do Walsall now operate please ?

I'm guessing that the NX in-house routes will increase / expand in the months ahead.  ;)
