(20 Mar 2018, 7:38 pm)Driver9*** Early days yet but having 3 extra mins each way and not having those shitty electric buses on them should help.

(22 Mar 2018, 8:56 am)Smarty93 1511 was parked in Stockton’s yard last night ready for run out so presumably transferred.
Updated plan for cadets etc is;
Frequenta Service 7 to be worked by pulsars with NSA
17/17A to remain Cadet/Centro.

(22 Mar 2018, 9:06 am)Ianthegoon Any word on the possible destinations of the Solos currently on the 7? I think I noted in an earlier post the suggestion that a couple were going to, I think, Whitby, but I wasn't sure if that was speculation or an actual plan.
1511 instead of one of 1424-8??
(22 Mar 2018, 1:42 pm)Cock Robin 1511 instead of one of 1424-8??
Seems odd the 7s going from minis to Pulsars and the 17s keeping Cadets but at least I will still see/hear them in M'bro! Shame they hadn't dropped the Frequenta brand or they could have done some Pulsars up for the 7.

The ex-North East Volvo B5LHs have now started to receive branding for service 444:
Arriva Yorkshire 1719 NK13 AZL by Yorkshire Paper Buses & Bus Photos, on Flickr
The last of the new buses has arrived from yorkshire that being 1530 which has a full rear advert but since it is nothing to do with blyth or the north east it will probably be removed and the bus will get a wash to get the massive load of bird muck on the bottom window off as it is gross and will ruin the bus once the full rear advert is removed. Als 7632 another one of the new buses needs a new cab fleet number as it still says 1531. 1534 can hopefully keep the odd seat as it is funny and cozy as all the new buses are. And on the word of the new arrivals If anyone is interested the new buses ysualy pop up on the X7 X8 on Monday usualy the 8:00 X8 to newcastle
I think the 43 rarely ever gets any sapphires it is mostly just a volvo b7tlwright gemini today i was on the 43 which was 7488 seen 7490 on the 43 & 7493 on the 43 and abit of a rarer appearance with 1575. Arriva probably should have thought before having the e400 sapphires branded for the 43 as well as the 44 & 45. And when the 43 is actually a sapphire 7522 never shows up on the 43 and is constantly the 44 & 45.

There should be an extra Sapphire bus to play with now that the PVR of the 43/44/45 has been reduced. However, allocations can depend on where the vehicle is parked in the depot, and if any delays occur during the day.

(25 Mar 2018, 3:35 pm)Multi21 Just so people can keep up
The transfers from Darlington to Stockton are as follows. 1406,1425,1426,1428,1510 and 1511. As all but 1406 are normal spec and fitted with NSAs (Next Stop Announcement to those who don't know) I imagine the Stockton 7s will made up of the 5 transfered pulsars and 2805 for the foreseeable.
The two silver DAF Deckers for the park and ride in Whitby 7609&10 were parked up in Redcar last night without vinyls. I assume they will be transferred to Whitby today and be vinyled up by tomorrow as I believe the park and ride starts tomorrow?
