Ta for clearing that up - probably would have been easy to spot but to anyone feeling ill, it was quite a strenuous task to read through those to spot the differences!

Wonder if this is a new style Chester-le-St town service that has been cancelled by Classic on 27th July.

Also, starting at some point in September, there will be a new tendered service between Darlington and Neasham/Hurworth, Sadberge/Bishopton running 3 days a week to be operated by Scarlet Band.

Don't know if it's a 'new style' but the 700 is replacing the current Chester-le-Street town service.

The timetables are up on DCC's transport portal.

That's a canny hike for Scarlet Band just for a tendered service in Chester.

The bid must be worth it for them to run light back and forth from West Cornforth every day.

The changes to 111/115 are down to them losing the contract and then taking them on commercially. The 113 is commercial anyway and the 110/112 are linked in with the same services, wouldn't surprise me if they've taken those on commercially too.

Another Solo YT51EAY has arrived at Scarlet Band. I would be willing to bet that this will become the green bus for service 20.

First day for Scarlet Band on the Chester le Street Town Service using an Optare Solo M850 SL registration number YJ06YRE.
No working destination sign at the moment just a cardboard box with the service number behind the dashboard.

I must say that I'm surprised allocations haven't been more consistent... They'll have L600ALY on there next! :p

Don't suppose it matters, a Solo is a Solo. Not a branded route so I expect you'll see any unbranded Solo appear every day. Possibly even an Enviro

Has anybody been at Chester-Le-Street today, just for confirmation that the Scarlet Band Chester-Le-Street local services have the right numbered destination up on the screen 700/701/702/703 instead of 810/811/812/813.

I have noticed the Chester le Street Town Service from the first day that Scarlet Band took it over and can confirm that they have used the 811 etc numbers on their buses each day. This is the same service numbering as used by TGM Classic but for some reason the Durham County Council timetable uses the 701 etc numbering. I guess that DCC and Scarlet Band need to agree how the numbering should be allocated. My proposal would be to stick with the 8** numbering.

Ive been in touch with Scarlet Band, and there said that DCC changed the bus service numbers at the last minute, but Scarlet band wasn't told about the change of service numbers, supposed to be recitfyed in a few days time of using the 700 number series.

Any idea why they were changed?

All I know that DCC wanted them changed into that sequence, some of the secured services at Stanley in the low 700 series.

A good result, the Scarlet Band bus is displaying service 701 on its destination board this morning. DCC still have some work to do as the illuminated sign showing next bus on top of the bus shelters still shows 811 as does the paper timetable inside the bus shelter (based on Red Lion bus shelter).

Scarlet Band have added 4 more Optare Solo's to their fleet. These are YT51EAY, MX55WCZ, YJ06YRD and YJ06YRE. Optare Delta M792HCU, Vario R150UAL and Sprinter NK04VMD have all departed. Leyland Tiger J25UNY has been withdrawn. Additionally, Optare Solo MX55WCZ has now been painted into green livery for new service 20 starting in a few weeks.

Didn't realise they had an ex-GNE Delta. Loved them buses and travelled on that one quite a bit.

Does anyone know where it has gone?

Believe it went for scrap. Badly corroded if I remember right.

A few changes to Scarlet Band services from this weekend:

Darlington service 20
New service linking Hurworth, Neasham, Darlington, Sadberge, Great Stainton and Bishopton running 3 days a week (Mon, Wed, Fri)
Timetable here

Spennymoor service 110
Re-routing of service to operate direct from Spennymoor to Ferryhill via Thinford, operating hours extended and re-timed to depart Spennymoor at 45 mins past the hour, from 0945 to 1745 (current last journey at 1422)
Timetable here

Spennymoor service 111
Minor retiming and 0831 from Spennymoor (school hols) withdrawn
Timetable here

Spennymoor service 112
Service completely revised to run from Spennymoor to West Cornforth only (via Green Lane and Metal Bridge... giving Metal Bridge an hourly service!), no longer serving Ferryhill or Kirk Merrington
Timetable here

Spennymoor service 113
Retiming to depart Bishop Auckland at 5 min past the hour, and Wood Lane at 35 mins past. Also believe it will be re-routed between Bishop and Spennymoor to give a more direct service (but the timetable doesn't give any detail).
Timetable here

Durham service 42
New addition to the Scarlet Band operation is service 42 between Durham and Brasside to give an (almost) half hourly frequency with the commercial Arriva service.
Timetable here

Durham service 252
Taking over the operation from Durham CC, Scarlet Band will run service 252 to Whitesmocks during the day
Timetable here

Service 115 Spennymoor-Greenways will no longer be operated by Scarlet Band after losing the contract.
I understand the changes to 110/111/112 are as a result of Scarlet Band taking them on commercially, they will use 2 buses (PVR -1). Service 20 is as a result of funding from eVolution and the parish councils in the villages and will be run by branded Solo MX55WCZ.

If Scarlet Band retimed there X49 (Brandon-Durham) then there could of merge their new service 42 into a X49 Brandon-Durham-Arnison Centre-Brasside.

That would be interesting - however the X49 is commercial and the 42 is a DCC contract so they'd have to talk to the council. Would provide some cross-city links though.

An odd working on the Chester le Street, Town Service today. Optare Solo MX55WCZ branded for the "Our Bus" service 20 has been working the Scarlet Band service in Chester le Street today.

Presumably because service 20 wasn't running today (despite the fact it should have been!)
