RE: Transfer of VDL Pulsars from Arriva North West - peter - 04 Apr 2022

(04 Apr 2022, 10:10 pm)Arriva7446 1539 and 1540 entered service on 31/03, just leaving 1542 to enter service at Jesmond. Does the entry into service of these buses mean imminent withdrawal of the last Volvo B7TL at Jesmond? I am not fully up to date with what is going on there with the Volvos but I do gather they won't be around for much longer and also I notice 7415 has gone from the bustimes fleet list which is a shame. I hope to ride the Volvo buses before they ;are withdrawn if I can.

Apparently 7415 has moved to Durham. Not sure those Volvo's will go until the new vehicles arrive tbh

Ahh ok, never thought to check the bustimes fleet list for Durham depot but I will keep a look out, thanks! Personally I thought 7415 was the best of the 3 at Jesmond. Others are pretty good but 91 is a bit squeaky. Yeah I hope they will be around until the new buses arrive so I can get some last rides in.
