 This Renault S75 was new to Welcome of Gateshead. The company was short lived with its fleet of new Plaxton Beaver Renaults and it is believed J232JJR found its way into the Classic fleet, but is seen here in central Birmingham with Travel Express but still in the Status Group livery used on buses in their associated fleets. |

Seen in the dark in Newcastle in the winter of 1999 is this Mercedes 811D with Marshall bodywork, new as Merseyrider 7945 (K845OEM).

 The Status Group operated several coaches in contract livery and this Caetano bodied Volvo B10M, GO02STS, of Classic is serving the STS organisation (School Travel Service). Appropriately it is found at one of the World War One battlefield sites in Belgium in 2003. |
The Moor-Dale group was absorbed by Classic and retained a separate identity. One of its Plaxton bodied coaches, believed to be a Volvo B10M, is seen on tour in Barcelona in June 2001.
