(18 Feb 2016, 3:04 pm)DanPicken Another Hybrid on X9.
1774-44.

There's a 308 hybrid on the X8 now (7801), though I imagine it's one of the ones which was on the X9 and X10/X11 earlier. Never caught their numbers to check.

That's a 308 hybrid spotted on every Blyth-Newcastle route today except the X7; I'm close to bingo!

... The E400's, while Sapphire standard cosmetically, certainly aren't of that standard mechanically it seems...

Especially the 57-reg ones!

Only a matter of time before Arriva end up having to draft MAX deckers in from elsewhere unless any are ordered this year! Wonder which buses would win in a drag race between Crook's Pronto B7s and Ashington's 57 plate Sapphire E400s.

Think I'd still go with the E400, the last time I saw one of the 'Pronto' vehicles, it looked like it wanted to just give up,

Though I agree, Arriva need to take a serious look at the X21/22 stock, Streetlites have been on there for the past three days (and more than one on each day, according to posts on here), which is unacceptable.

In other news 1906 could have spent it's last day in Darlington today (will confirm tomorrow) as it was replaced by 1414 on the 12/12A around 3pm
