No, it will be Pulsars - presumably 1430/36 given they were the one that moved back into the fleet from reserve with the MCs starting. Likewise, likely be 1534 that comes off with the end of the Summer Timetables.

soon Redcar is going to be left with nothing but crap and nothing decent

The irony of that statement is that the 'crap' they will be left with are the same vehicles that have been there since they were brand new.

Tells you everything you need to know about how they look after their fleet. Nobody to blame expect themselves for the inadequacies of their fleet.
I'm assuming there's a reason for it but is there any reason why Redcar are putting Pulsar's into reserve rather than withdrawing some of the awful Temsa's.

Guess it's because they're needed at some point in the future somewhere?

Pulsars are more suitable to be reused in other locations, so better choice to remove with PVR, whereas they won't split the Temsa's up, purely from an engineering perspective.

Yeah had a feeling that would've been the case, rather than outright withdrawing buses for scrap / Christmas trees or what not.
It would make sense to withdraw 4719 as it's off the road more than it is on the road. 

Also looking at the reliability of the solos up at Whitby doesn't help matters at the moment

Redcar also reduced by 2 this weekend, which should have seen two Pulsars go to Durham. I don't know what (if anything) has moved yet.

Will the sixth vehicle coming off not be 1534?
According to bus tracker 4715 is on the 96

it was a solo
1438 is tracking both on the X4 and x2
Were 1430&37 on loan to Belmont yesterday or have they now transferred.

1430 was tracking on the 63 in Redcar but was actually on 6
But worked for Durham and 1437 hasn't tracked but was in 24

1430/7 are now allocated to Durham - they were displaced by the operational changes which come into effect tomorrow when the Middlesbrough College runs once again fit onto the front of normal service work, reducing Redcar's PVR by 2 as they have been standalone since the college went back in September. They allowed 1512/3 to move back north to Ashington for the X16 increase.
7575/6 are due to leave today
Does this mean Redcar regain 1433/39.

 yes 1433 39 are  retuning to Redcar
1433.1439 are back at redcar
Do we know what tracking as 1430 as that's now in Durham but still tracking in Redcar

And what are 1430/ 7 tracking as in Durham
Judging by bus times
1433 and 39 are. Struggling since they've came back.


Endless amounts of deckers on the 62
Both.

State of solos 2857/70 are currently off the road

Is there going to be any investment for Redcar depot

Temsa still off the road. Seen about 3 dotted around Redcar this afternoon, not in service x

1433 hasn't tracked since it went back, so how can you say it has been struggling?

1439 similar, there is a picture of it in Middlesbrough Bus Station dated the 18th November, yet if you're going off bustimes.org it never made it there and only did one trip.
Here's a reason as to why Redcar depot could be short on buses:

Information from Arriva

Arriva services 62, 64 and 64a will not be operating in the Grangetown Birchington Avenue (Bull Ring area) for the rest of this evening.

The 64 and 64a service will terminate at Whale Hill shops.

64 to Redcar will operate via Fabian Road and Church Lane.
62 will operate direct between Magnet and Fire Station Roundabouts.

This is due to more vandlaism against 2 of our vehicles.

Arriva will be reviewing the situation tomorrow.

It was only on loan to them so it might be the ticketer as it's back Redcar few days ago
1439 is on the 63 so that tracking up north is just a ticketer
7610 is now back at Redcar
3 Streetlites on the x93 one is very temporary Un relble 1564 )
First day back in service and 4719 is already broken down in new marske on the X2
All 4 solos are out today

2857/63/66 on the x93
2870 on the x4
