Has it been repaired at all?
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2018 - Cock Robin - 02 Sep 2018
They used a LHD example to repair it didn't they, yet looks as though being cannibalized now!!

Its september now we have a month and a few weeks till this years poppy buses come out.
I am thinking maybe a 308 gemini should loose t 308 route branding and given a permenant poppy branding. Also on all other viechles should get a poppy on the side (as stagecoach do. This will be permanent too). All this should be on the buses by october

Would need an awful lot of work to get it back to service, the engine out of 4663 is going into 4655 which has been VOR since July.

Why are Stockton looking to ditch the Streetlites in favour of Pulsars? Are they that unreliable? Do you think Durham would swap their pulsars for Stockton's Streetlites?

I would prefer the streetlites to go from Durham and pulsars to go to Durham

Fantastic
First time I heard that I was highly amused by it, today was no different.

Axel has gone into 4645 I believe... very much the end of 4663.

Last I saw of 4663 it had no interior. Certainly not as much work as you think.
It's been a spares donor for a while now.

Durham Gemini’s 7626 & 7627 were swapped with Dewsbury E400s 1915 & 1916 today. They’re expected to be swapped with some Pulsars from Jesmond in due course

X12 to go fully single deck? Not sure it'll need deckers anymore, without the big loadings of students to the Stockton Campus?
It'd make more sense to have a full Pulsar allocation across the 56/57/57A/X12, if they can achieve that with what they have got.
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - September 2018 - RobinHood - 09 Sep 2018
It's the start of a bigger movement that will see the E400s heading to Ashington for the X15.
That theb cascades buses via Blyth and Jesmond to Durham.
X12 will be all single deck soon, but in the meantime the E400s will run at Durham.
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - September 2018 - Driver9*** - 10 Sep 2018
About time they got rid of all the 74** shite from Blyth. Why not bring back 7609/10, 7618-20 and 7626/7 to replace them? Would make sense to have the entire DD fleet from 7601-37 there for uniformity.

They wasted no time pressing them into service at Belmont, 1915 was noted on service 43 whilst 1916 was on the 56/57/57A/86 circuit today.
