Well I went to Arriva Darlington depot tonight and 1593 was in the pits with the engine bay covered in a black substance.
Also 1594 is of for a new Engine Refit.
Moral of the story is Buy some proper buses like Volvos or some Optare tempos would of been way better for the X1.

(30 Mar 2017, 7:35 pm)Sinky.1 I wish 1404/5/6/7 were still on the X1. Those were by far the best ones, no pun intended![Image: wink.gif]
I know I was talking to Steve foster on Tuesday night and he was telling me about 1406 and hoe much he misses it. He used to cane them things like there was no tomorrow he loved them. I do miss the things as well.

(28 Mar 2017, 7:39 pm)ODan Indeed - though still means a lot of money has been wasted on re-branding the service. Paying for the brand and associated marketing (the work from Best Impressions doesn't come cheap), paying for the refurbishment and repaint of the bus, then the vinyls on top...

I wonder what Stagecoach's view on this is? They've even gone to the effort of branding up the Solo SR allocated to the 'short' 685s...

The Stagecoch view? That's good of our co-route operators to think of customers and support the routes reputation by allowing people to travel during a peak time.

An enthusiast view is probably...inconsequential
