Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2015 - MrPottski - 12 Jul 2015
(12 Jul 2015, 6:58 am)citaro5284 And if they do regulate how, as unlike the other big 2, they dont have radio's. GNE and Stagecoach can quite easily contact the vehicles mid route, tell them to transfer passengers, blank off and go and pick their time up, bit more tricky if you cannot contact the vehicles
Not having some kind of in cab communications system is mystifying to me. Especially in this day and age of modern technology!

Sadly it seems we are going to have Freqenta on non Freqenta services on Sundays, Frequenta 2 EcoCitys on the 5A today and Freqenta 9/10 Solo on Dalesbus 830/831 today.

A note from what has been posted in the news - all of 4801-8 have gained branding for the 2.

You're useless, Mr. Kuy! You didn't note those the other day - only Jimmi mentioned the EcoCitys...

I also failed to note 2862/3/5/6 are also now repainted. Notice as yet no Solos are done for the 4.

Mind, if you're wanting to retain your 'know it all' title, you can't be failing to note repaints! Repaints are the be all and end all of bus operations, man!
News updated accordingly.

1415 and 1470 should have arrived accordingly at Stockton today. I expect they will be on the X12 tomorrow.

Can I blame other things on my mind at present
One other thing of note is that the future 4721 (YJ10 DTF) was originally with First Bradford as 63000 (Photo @ David Clark). As such, it's the only Temsa to have worked in the UK before that doesn't have Arriva seat trim.

just want to ask if anyone knows what sapphire pulsar is at ashington. because i passed the depot to day but couldn't see the reg on it
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2015 - Adrian - 12 Jul 2015
I hope no one is using the app to plan their journey tomorrow. It'd seem that the temporary timetable for the X12 hasn't been loaded.

(12 Jul 2015, 7:45 pm)Dan You're useless, Mr. Kuy! You didn't note those the other day - only Jimmi mentioned the EcoCitys...In fairness I didn't note 2863 as been repainted. Also on Friday not all of 4801-4808 were Frequenta branded and I speculated a few days earlier that these were going to be Frequenta branded as notably 4809-4811 remain as they are.
Obviously the branding is getting done pretty quickly so it can be a struggle keeping up, on Wednesday I saw 3 or 4 branded Solos and by Friday there was was a few more Solos branded and 5 EcoCity's.

Surprise surprise things haven't quite gone according to plan and Durham have given us 1476 instead of 1470 - it's out on the X12 today (1415 isn't...)
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2015 - Adrian - 13 Jul 2015
Interesting journey this morning. No real traffic into Durham, but the lanes over Millburngate bridge are extremely tight for buses.
They've also left the North bound stop open on the bridge, with a cone diversion on and off it. It's going to rely on sensible motorists to let the bus out.

1476 is out on 27s not X12

Well that was the state of play when I left this morning...
1415 went out on the X12 that 1476 was advertised as doing... 1476 then replaced 1454 on 27s, guess we've put it on the nursery slopes for it's first day

(12 Jul 2015, 10:50 am)DaveyBowyer Well, they certainly don't have the luxury of radios like what the lads and lasses for GNE have. They can't simply self-regulate the service even if they wanted to.
Why not?

Surprisingly, on the most part buses through Durham seem to be running well. There is quite a heavy delay on the 64, as the majority of congestion is around Gilesgate roundabout.
No sign of regulation yet like...

From what our drivers were saying this morning was really quiet and getting into Durham was no bother through New Elvet

(13 Jul 2015, 2:36 pm)tyresmoke From what our drivers were saying this morning was really quiet and getting into Durham was no bother through New ElvetI was on 1443 this morning between 7 and half past. There were 3 others on when I got on, and only another two picked up along the way. Despite being infront of the 57.
Never known it that quiet!
