so with the M11 starting at Northallerton, will that be Darlington ran or will it be from another depot?
also spoke to one of the Drivers at Darlington depot and they said that Darlington are running a moorsbus, as he drives the dalesbus usually but this year is going for the moorbus instead

Darlington's will be the same as last year to Pickering via Danby.
The Northallerton service is part of the Redcar diagram which starts at Saltburn.

Ugly.
Consultation on the 17/17a/17b/X17 on Teesside
Basically, the proposals are:
Saturday timetable on 17/17a effectively becomes weekday off-peak timetable as well with the 17b withdrawn
X17 would be revised to operate every 20 minutes at peak times rather than the present every 15 minutes - to improve reliability, proposed re-routing via Thornaby Centre and Mitchell Avenue to avoid peak time traffic at the presently roadwork-distrusted A19/A174 junction at afternoon peak times. This offers faster journey times for passengers from Thornaby Centre (13 minutes direct into Middlesbrough compared to the 20+ minutes at present), and while it slows the journey from Yarm and Ingleby Barwick down (although expectation is for the increase to be less than 5 minutes) it should improve the reliability.
With the exception of the northern part from Lanehouse Road into Stockton, Thornaby Road will once again be bus-less.

So they're cancelling the X5 ? I dont think they really gave it a proper chance, running only a couple of early journeys to Middlesbrough, and having an unusual route direct from Skelton to Middlesbrough and missing Guisborough.

No the X5's are moved onto the 5/5A registration. Same applies to the X17 on the 17/17A registration.
We're not getting rid of them you'll be glad to hear!
That's good to know, thank you. If anything, they need more of the X5's throughout the day!

Does anyone have any info regarding the 63 changes?
Also, I have read a few times that 63 along with the 17's be having branding applied and wifi fitted to their buses. Does anyone know when this will be and what the allocation will be?
Many thanks!

It'll be the 15 and 63 (and the Solos on the 7) - indeed our 15 Pulsars have already been fitted with wifi - this is fitted to 1457-60 and 1484-92/94 I understand, alongside the existing vehicles (Max, Sapphire) already offering it.

cheers! More specifically, do you know what the route change will be on the 63 and the allocation. I know generally its pulsar, but there has been times when its been changed to Temsas, and as always, there is always the odd stray that appears on them.

To make it worse there was an ALX200 on the 63.

I don't think there is any route changes on any of our routes coming up, despite what the VOSA registrations show. Should be solid Pulsar but of course Redcar only have 10 (discounting 1440) so therefore the remaining 4 boards have to be made up of Temsas (or B10BLEs or whatever else they can find...)

Hopefully the roadworks are to take that stupid roundabout out near Darlington college, or maybe it's to dig a hole and fill it in, that's all Darlington council are good for
