(04 Jul 2015, 3:14 pm)Jimmi May be wrong but I think 2843 has been removed from service 4.
Taken off a few hours ago, apparently. On the bright side, I am (finally) getting a ride of one of the ADL Enviro400s...

Whilst I was there today some girls who must have around 14 stopped me asking if I'd buy fags for them.
Bit peeved it has been taken off as I abandoned a large amount of photo taking in different places in the hope of getting a photo of 2843. Oh well got a few odd workings whilst I was in Darlington and two of the new Stagecoach Enviros whilst I was in South Shields.

just to let you know that there is a white temsa avenue parked at the back of ashington depot
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2015 - tyresmoke - 05 Jul 2015
YJ11GHG I understand is the one at Ashington. I wonder if they are moving our stuff out of Thorntons as they need space for an influx of vehicles from London....??
The Sapphires aren't due to start service from Durham until October, however I understand 1531/2 will help to provide extra cover on the 22/24 (and probably other services!) over the summer season whilst the roadworks in Durham boost their PVR - we are providing extra resources on 22/24 (PVR +1), 56/57 (PVR +1), X12 (PVR +1), 64 (PVR +1). I understand 1524 + 1 other are to be used at Blyth to help provide cover whilst their Gemini fleet gets sorted.
Once they go into Durham for service 6, there should be a movement of standard Pulsars from there to Stockton to remove the majority of the DAF Cadets from service there. I understand 5 of them will be kept however this is yet to be confirmed, and indeed which ones are staying - no doubt it'll be the worst ones!

Had the pleasure of my first ride on one of the Arriva B5LHs in the form of 7801 on the 308 to Whitley Bay, I wasnt a fan of the Low Roof as I smacked my head off the roof as I made towards the rear of the upper deck, I was highly impressed however with the amount of Leg Room these B5LHs had compared to the GNE Examples on the 21, seats were rather comfortable also and it was quite a nice journey even though I was getting hacked off by the amount of times it exited onto a Slip Road to serve a Bus Stop along the Coast Road.
