Fleet number 9104 - just another loan.
Unlike the others; I don't think this one will be for Hexham, though!

I believe the 700.

My guess is the 238, but I guess we'll find out soon.

How long is this one (9104) expected to stay for, as I'm away on a Roadtrip next week.

The Solo Sr's on the 700 are due for repaint next year, expect for 640 which arrived a year later.
Wonder if the Sunderland uni, the council (not sure who else funds it) are thinking about putting bigger buses on it.
When does the contract come up for renewal?

Think I read somewhere it was a five year contract.

Should be at least four weeks.

I think it could be, means its up for grabs next year...
What causes a vehicle to be fitted with a tachograph? What are the merits to doing it, or is it under legal obligation?

All vehicles that operate under EU rules must be fitted with tachographs, however, there is a dispensation for UK domestic vehicles that can operate within 50 km of their base.
Some routes are, indeed, less than 50km, however, some operators are dividing-up their routes (no change of driver or vehicle) by changing the destination blind.
At present, these split routes are accepted to be within the letter of the law (if not the spirit) and therefore routes like the Arriva 685 from Newcastle to Carlisle continue to operate without tachographs by changing at Haydon Bridge.
There are also differences in driver's hours and breaks between the EU regulations and UK domestic (non tacho) operations.
There are 3 sets of rules that could apply to your journey:
