Solo 2827 is in an all over white livery on service 9/10 in Darlington today. Ready for repaint into Whitby park and ride. Any idea when the transfer and repaint will occur?

Repaint has already happened - white base livery ready for vinyls. Transfer should happen near to Easter which is when the 171 starts.

I'm a big fan of these Darts! Except the minimal leg room! Just something about them, they're so appealing! I'd rather ride one of these than a Solo

4001 on 9/27A today in Middlesbrough, it replaced 1491 which has replaced 4037 on 29s
1743 on X93 yet again
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - jaimzm - 11 Mar 2014
1743 on X93 1101 X3A 1102 64 4068 on 63 i thought 4068 had been scrapped

I think you'll find it will have been 1743 (1748 was withdrawn and sold months ago)

RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - robisdave - 11 Mar 2014
It was 1743! We gave it a steer when it left the Bus Station packed at 1025. Why Dormanstown/Whitby keep foisting this wreck on 93's beggars belief! In the words if Arriva " it's either this or nothing!" It got no better at 1125 when Temsa 4720 crawled, fully loaded, out of town.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - tyresmoke - 11 Mar 2014
Probably also worth mentioning 1305 was on X4 when I passed it in Brotton...!
Stockton Prestige 4037 came back out to play around 1100 to replace a failed 1460 on services 5/5A!
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Jimmi - 12 Mar 2014
1617 & 1639 on Service 8/8A.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Jimmi - 12 Mar 2014
2808 on Service 64.
Leaving everyone to get on Service 7 because a Solo is not big enough to cope with peak time loadings.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Jimmi - 12 Mar 2014
(12 Mar 2014, 8:03 am)Jimmi 1617 & 1639 on Service 8/8A.
Also an R reg Dart on Service 8.

RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - tyresmoke - 12 Mar 2014
Passed E400 7513 on the 81 in Guisborough this morning...
Noted 1313 on 49A in Durham too....
Been all over today me
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - robisdave - 12 Mar 2014
Why won't they allocate the E400's they have available to the route they were brought in for ? But then given the reliability of them it's probably best that passengers are given half a chance of getting to their destinations (Whitby/Scarborough) using the likes of 1743 and 4080

Exactly that reason, reliability. I'm sure 7513 has just returned from having a new engine fitted so it may be they're running it in on less demanding territory before sending it back to Whitby.
