Come again, that was quite a unnedded post there. Perhaps clarify to GNE6312 where 7475 is officially.

Cameron had already stated it was at Ashington!
Perhaps the user who replied with just "Ashington" should have perhaps had a better approach for example "it remains allocated to Ashington" as that would be more easy to understand.

"Does anyone know where 7475 is. Haven't seen it since it left blyth for ashington and blyth got 7469 back."

"Ashington"

How on earth can you take anything from that other than it is at Ashington?


RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2018 - Wiseyarriva - 18 Apr 2018

1424 and 1498 still at Darlington today. 1424 I assume unti 4813 is back up and running which is due next week. Following the result of the court case 4802 is due to be released back to Arriva - which presumably in time will cascade another Pulsar

I agree!

No, 7475 is now officially allocated to the moon. It was on the 35 between Craterpeth and Craterhorn yesterday.

Makes sense.

There's a rumour going around that Arriva Lunar aren't receiving any new vehicles this year due to a proposed take over by Go Moon.

There's a rumour going around that Arriva Lunar aren't receiving any new vehicles this year due to a proposed take over by Go Moon.

If a takeover was (NOT saying it is going) to happen to the Northumbria depots (Ashington, Jesmond, Blyth), I could see the following happen taking competition rules into account with all depots keeping most of their routes:

Blyth Depot= Stagecoach
Ashington Depot= Go North East
Jesmond Depot= Go North East and split between Percy Main and Riverside (Most to Riverside)

Vehicle changes:
- Blyth VDL Geminis swapped with Ashington E400s / E400MMCs. This would maintain a common fleet with Stagecoach and GNE could use some of the VDL Geminis to convert the X30/X31 to double deck due to the low bridge in Dunston.

Route depot changes:
- Full 19 to Ashington
- 306/51/52/53/54 to Percy Main
- 1/2 to GNE and transferred to Ashington
- 685 scrapped and X84/X85 extended to Carlisle

Does anyone know if you can use a £28 North East weekly on the new 95 service round Whitby? I wanted to use it to go to grosmont

Yes, according to the 95 leaflet, the regionwide tickets are valid throughout.

Anyone in the North of Newcastle area in the next few days. TWO new training buses are up at Thorntons getting converted. Can someone go and find out what they are. It's believed one is a Commander and one's a Cadet.


RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2018 - Rockstar666 - 20 Apr 2018

Commander might be ex Yorkshire 499

Does anyone know why 2841 has transferred to Whitby/Redcar

Apparently, it's a loan whilst 2862 gets fixed.

4706 has been repainted
