There are as its been confirmed from what I herd

1555 has been tracking on the 62 today. Sending Streetlites to help out a Redcar has been a very bad decision lately. 1554 hasn't been out since the 6th August on the X4, 1556 since the 19th August on the X4 and 1562 since the 19th August on the 81. I think Arriva should get the hint and just send purely Pulsars there to help out like 1405 did. That did great when it was there for a while.

Incorrect 1554 is back at Stockton tracking as different buses

1562 is also back at Stockton

Also thought 7401 was getting sent away for repairs yet it's still in pieces in redcar yard

1555 cantnot climb hills absolutely snail

Redcar are loving putting 4712 on the X94 as of late. It must have had some improvements done to it.

4712 is the best one by far!
Other decent ones 4704, 4716, 4724 that see use on X4s fairly often.

4716 broken down at Runswick bay this morning 64A got cancelled so a bus could cover 4716 board

That’s just been off for a new engine that one, was at Stockton for a few weeks! Looks like it was back out on X3’s by 1245.

I disagree with 4704 and 4724. Maybe they were struggling at the time I was on them but they were awful at that time. 4707 was a beast hill climbing when I was on it last, god knows how its doing now. I wonder what has happened to 4719 because that got a whole rework and was great and now its dreadful and never really shows on the X4/93/93 anymore.

Drove into whitby this evening and alpha was getting ready to tow 4712 back to Redcar.

See the good stint on x94 was short lived

4721 took over on the x94 that would have been 2mph on flyingthorpe bank there won't trust 1555 because that's all so bad on hills

4707 is absolutely rubbish on hills I had it few weeks back it's was absolutely painful ?

What is the actual purpose at the moment for redcar to have 1555 ?

I think it just varies from time to time but when I was on 4707 it was a beast. Probs is bad now. I think they just have periods of where a few a good then get bad. 4702, 4709, 4717 and now 4725 are all on the X4 today. I think they throw mostly Temsa's on there on a Sunday to give the Good Pulsars a break for day.

To be honest, I don't even know what it's covering for. I think its covering for the fact theres still a decent amount off the road.

4709 dual tracking today on the 62 and x4

The one which is on the 62 is 4719 YJ10 DFV. 4709 is on the X4

Unbelievable nock a x4 off for a bloody x3 why not take a 63 off absolutely joke

The missing X4 is now being covered by 4721.

Don't know if its just the ticketer but 2863 has started tracking again after 2 Months on the 96.

Also surprisingly, 2870 is tracking on the X4 which I imagine that is 2841

2870 is 1464 on loan but 2863 is indeed back on road

1464 on loan to Redcar tracking as 2870

Now on X93

Guessing 1555 failed at Redcar since that's not tracked since?

Are stockton sending the streetlites to Redcar when they are on their last legs

Also 1534 was out today and was on the 81 for some strange reason wasn't tracking on bus times
