Ok, thanks I thought they would be due soon, I think the routes could benefit from something larger like a versa, due to the popularity of the service at times, maybe even taking after first York, with one of there ones having all electric buses or perhaps a hybrid?

NX55FFS replaced YJ55YGL on service 16 due to it Overheating and kept Cutting out after Lunch time.

First York aren't all that revolutionary withtheir P&R vehicles. Bendy Citaros on one service (3?) and chuggy, grunty old Eclipses on the 7s we caught on Saturday!

One of the E200s on the 58 today sounds like its exhaust is knackered. Total racket!

Typical Enviro. They would be better off putting them Enviros on other routes that are shorter as the Cummins solos they have despite being older are much more superior and have much comfier seats.

A few pieces of info regarding disruptions to services 16 & 20 in Darlington from Monday 3rd July.

SERVICE 16
journeys towards North Road and Harrowgate Hill will omit the Four Riggs stop in Bondgate, Darlington, from Monday 3 July 2017 for 2 weeks. This is due to the closure of Larchfield Street and Portland Place for carriageway resurfacing. During this period, passengers should instead use the Outram Street stop in Duke Street, or the town centre stops at Northgate Stop A or Tubwell Row Stop H. All other services will continue to observe the stop at Four Riggs as normal.

SERVICE 20
will not serve Hurworth or Neasham from Monday 3 July 2017, for up to 2 weeks, owing to the closure of Neasham Road for gas mains replacement works. Arriva service 12 will continue to serve Hurworth as normal. Service 20 will instead terminate at Geneva Crescent.

Info from Connect Tees Valley's Facebook page.

The service, which will be run by Scarlet Band, will connect Durham University’s colleges and academic departments.
