Gill started scheduled ops on 5 June 1989, from Newcastle to Aberdeen, Belfast and manchester. At the time they were "convenient, comfortable, reliable, frequent and friendly". Little changed. I honestly thought that the concentration on the core Newcastle market (amongst other things) was turning Gill around after the problems of the late '90s. Lets hope that BE, BRAL, eastern etc can pick up the mantle and offer both employment and continued service to the public.
Best wishes to all who worked at New Aviation House.....
