Arriva Belmont are using Enviro 400s on their 4 routes with services 43 and 56 interworking with 7518/20/7521. Also looks like the 49A is using a Sapphire Decker aswell. The 64 hasn't showed up in Durham so I don't know the allocation but likely 7523 or 7539. All these services have managers driving with a 'Woman Conductor' assisting each manager with directions.
Does anybody know what Stockton/Redcar/Whitby have allocated?

I would have assumed a manager would have covered school routes as I was told before they only have 10 School drivers on hand but with them on strike you wouldn't have thought 'standard' drivers would be driving school routes.
There's no ranking between scholars and standard drivers, it's just a list on paper so the right drivers can be assigned to the right duties. Neither is superior.
The managers will have enough on their plates without having to learn a non-standard route, hence drivers with route knowledge doing it.

Saw one X93 between Whitby and Scarborough. Also saw a 95.
Nowt unusual to report allocation wise.

I wasn't down the bus station long but the 63s and 64As I saw were all 63 branded Pulsars. Don't think the 5 or 28/28A were running.
During the week for Redcar/Whitby I saw Pulsars (incl 1440), Streetlites, X93 deckers and a Temsa. 1563 was on a 5 Tuesday! Other 5s and 28/28As I saw (which were interworking) were all Stockton Pulsars incl Max ones.

With pretty much the same driver, wonder if he got to choose what to take out.
Anymore news on the strike from the 27th January?
