As part of the 'Frequenta' scheme, the Solos have a landmark on their rear wall - marketed as 'Frequenta and beyond'. They are as followed:
Banard Castle (found in 2830/2/68)
Stockton 'Infinity Bridge (found in 2850)
Middlesbrough 'Transporter Bridge'
Durham 'North Road under Durham Viaduct'
Shildon 'Locomotion - Main Building' (found in 2843)

Shildon locomotion is in 2856 I think

(14 Jul 2015, 7:11 pm)aureolin So does that mean that the local authority gets charged five times for every journey, despite it effectively being a through-fare?
It's good to see services being financially viable, but this seems a bit dodgy. On normal services the passes will only work once, and if it's possible to use the pass again when routes are split it'll give Arriva ideas on routes like the X93 to make pass holders come up for a new ticket at Guisborough and Whitby !
So it's basically the council tax payer who will be paying more than they should be, to further subsidize OAP's days out.
The unfairness with the ENCT scheme is it's free and unlimited: I have no problem with the old folk having a number of free journeys, or unlimited discounted travel, but giving them free unlimited journeys just means they see no value or cost in the service whatsoever, and those of us who pay have to pay more.

By the looks of things 1522 has now moved back to Durham with 1523 coming in its place, to be confirmed when I next see 1523
2869 has also lost its rear end advert for Sadie the bra lady

I'm think I saw 1523 was on a Darlo run the other day so this probably has happened. Also saw 1522 on a Belmont run (providing Belmont are actually doing the run I saw at the moment).
Good, that rear advert has looked a mess for a long time!

Yeah 1523 has just passed me with a Darlington driver on it so 1522 has gone back and 1523 Has arrived at Darlington

Last day of Teesside service 17B is operated by 1903 and 1917 today.

Repainting of Darlington's Solos is now complete. However, some still are unbranded:
2859 is yet to be branded for the 4 (2860/1/2 all done)
2864/8 are the only examples branded for the 9/10 at present

1509's announcements weren't working on the 5A this afternoon, screen looked to be off and there was no announcements from what I could hear.

Do you think any of the Northumbria Depots (most likely either Blyth or Ashington) will trial the E400MMC at somepoint?

Doubt it cause Arriva have standardised the E400 for a few years, So will probably go with the E400MMC anyways.
Arriva Yorkshire trailed a E400MMC a few months ago on the 110 ( Leeds-Kettlethorpe ) before it received Euro 5 E400s .
Though I don't know how it got on there.

1902 has disappeared out of Stockton's yard, presumably gone for scrap.

May be wrong but it looks like Moorsbus services M16, M10, M11 are not shown on the Live App although the Moorsbus services operated by Darlington depot are shown including stops.

Does anyone know why four Arriva buses including a sapphire double decker were parked up in longfield schools car park this afternoon? I was told by a friend who spotted them there at around 2pm.

Yup it was the annual Arriva inter-depot football competition again today, with teams joining us from Yorkshire again. Wakefield won, if anyone was wondering!
