(17 Jan 2023, 6:10 pm)Dyllan7817 762 is now back on the road and has passed its MOT at Stockton

762 isn’t back on the road yet, the current 762 that’s tracking on bus times was a mixture of Durhams 1507 that’s on long term loan to Darlington, and now currently 1477 is tracking as 762, 761 has returned to frontline service this week

Even after all the transfers to ensure it doesn't happen, it's taken approximately 8 hours for a non-CAZ compliant bus to go into the CAZ. 2603 is on the 44.

7515 cut it close too last night, was on a board due to finish at Haymarket at 0000, but arrived about 5 early.

I don't know but the Solos might have an exception if the new order of minibuses is coming soon which was planned?

Unless the changes are permenant which they say they aren't then they need buses from somewhere as they've gave everything away. (The buses currently on the 55 should be enough though if a new order came).

The Solos at Walkergate shouldn't need replacing - the work they are meant to be used on (the 553 and 555) doesn't enter the CAZ area - hence why they weren't replaced alongside the older examples in the autumn (plus, they aren't much use anywhere else either - believe the Whitby examples will be needing replacing soon due to age restrictions on the Lealholmside contract, likewise the Park and Ride Geminis are approaching replacement for the same reason).

Yeah some valid points, tbh I was just thinking more about fleet consolidation. Assuming they'll all end up at Ashington at some point as there's nothing for the 55 currently. So maybe get a batch to replace the lot since the 5 for the 57/57A are as unreliable as ever. I believe there's been roughly 3 days this year where it's been fully Solo operated (excluding the board at around 8pm that runs off the 2). 

Seems a bit silly having 5 59 plates, 3 61 plates and whatever is going on the 55 but then again this is Arriva. 

Ideally they need to get shot of the lot of them (including Durham) especially if Whitby need them gone aswell. Sure Medway could take them if need be and get arid of their old stock running on town services where they should be.

Interesting to note Solo 2865 in scrap corner at Darlington. Steering wheel cover on and NFS label applied to the windscreen. Maybe just stored for now . Surely there are older more decrepit examples to go before this one, unless it has serious mechanical issues?

They're all as bad as each other, they just need to order another batch of Enviro 200 MMC's (or something else) - not sure how many is actually needed and get shot of them. The 08 plate is the most reliable at Ashington ironically, 2854 and 2856 and being much worse. 2856 seems to be banned from the 57/57A for some reason which considering it's the reason it's there for is a problem.
