Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion

The Tempos delivered today were:

1307 (YJ09 EYL)
1309 (YJ09 EYO)
1310 (YJ09 EYP)
1311 (YJ09 EYR)

1308 was supposed to come but had a few defects to fix first. So it'll either be 1306 and 1308 that come up later in the week, or 1308 and 1312

They should enter service pretty soon, with 6 Solos transferring to Blyth - I'm assuming 2810, 2811, 2814, 2817, 2818 and 2819. Although they might keep 2811 as the spare for the 49.

The Tempos will enter service on the 56/57/57A apparently, directly replacing the Solos.

Weren't they supposed to replace E200s on the 64 which were then going to replace Solos?

(20 Jun 2017, 4:50 pm)Jimmi Hasn't that always been the case really though? Seems like most of the MAX branded buses have been designed to accommodate advertising boards (Darlington Omnicity's and X93 don't seem to have any though), single deckers only tend to have them on the nearside now owing to the positioning of the emergency exit door on the drivers side, meaning it's normally just a large MAX logo on this side.

I've never understood why operators dont use a similar method to the one First use (the York Solars/Eclipses as an example) to advertise.

Will be one of the ones destined for Ashington, Id imagine the delivery route from Scarborough ( Where the bus was manufactured and registered ) will be over the moors via Whitby and down the A19.

This is correct, I'm told by one of the drivers who were part of Wednesday's convoy that all would have been delivered by today.

This may sound stupid but 1306 - 12 is 7?
06 - 1
07 - 2
08 - 3
09 - 4
10 - 5
11 - 6
12 - 7

So surely 2811 will be going aswell or does that mean Yorkshire are keeping either 06, 08 or 12?
