Seems as though redcar is struggling to keep 1534 on the road at the moment. Constantly stops tracking and brought back to the depot.
Can imagine this being withdrawn along with the temsa
Are the Solo sr still in the depot?
Are redcar due to get any more

Was gonna say it’s out all day just doesn’t track for very long. 7405 doesn’t track at all!
Passed 7609 on the back of an Alpha truck yesterday getting dragged down to Redcar, last out on Sunday. Could be the end of that one!?

I thought Yorkshire would have sent up 3050 and 3051 as well.
I'm sure Yorkshire would be glad to get rid of them, as they are banned from Leeds Bus Station, and whenever they appear on a Leeds route, they have to stop outside the bus station.

I was on it yesterday and it had the most weirdest sound when it reached high revs. Hasn't been out all morning today and has came on the 12:20 X3 Board towards Lingdale and started at Dormanstown near the depot so maybe it got a little fix.
These Solo SR's haven't had the best of starts at Redcar. Good job the other regular Solos are still doing well for Redcar and Witby, otherwise Arriva would be forced to throw minibuses out on the 95/96.
7401 was also back at Redcar Depot yesterday at the front of the yard. Apparently people said it went to Durham to get repaired. Don't know how true that is, but we'll see if it comes back out into service.

It was only there for MOT I believe, all other work had been carried out at Durham.
7401 as entered sevice at whitby on the 9.36 x93
I took a trip on 7401 and 7406 which were both on the 62 today. They were actually really good.

Herd it's longterm Redcar
Dunno if its incorrect tracking but Solo SR 3053 is out in service on the 81. I wonder if it will last the whole day

Appears to have only managed Redcar - Guisborough - Marske this morning, however it is currently on the 63 this evening.

Yep confirmed passed it both days! Not that you could tell it was an 81 at 7am yesterday morning… one of the design flaws of the SR design

And in true Durham style failed to complete two whole days before being dragged off. Top job done here!
As an aside I understand 4715 has suffered terminal failure and as a result won’t see the road again. Another one down.

All depends which Depot can afford to send a replacement to Redcar. If it comes from down the road in Stockton. I would imagine it would be out of 1414, 1422, 1428, 1432 or 1450.
If Darlington have a spare to send it would be probs be out of 1409, 1417, 1431 or 1437.
They tend to send older non Euro 6 Pulsars
There my personal guesses anyways

Wouldn't be surprised if 3052/3053 replace it instead. They seem to be on the 81 anyway, with whatever they're meant to be replacing being withdrawn when the Pulsar's turn up to see off the Temsa's.

It’ll just mean one of the reserve buses being kept ‘permanent’ on fleet anyway. Believe currently it’s 1433 & 1534. Neither have ever stopped being used of course!
