What is happening with the whitby P&R this year as from what I have heard all buses must be less than 10 years old and 7609/10 if they haven't already will be reaching 10 in the next few weeks. Here is my plan:

7609/10 to blyth in trade for 7624/25 as 7624/25 will last the 2020 & 2021 seasons before becoming too old.

The age limit is actually 12 years old, however this is waived if the vehicles have had refurbishment and/or agreed with NYCC.

However 7424/25/26 are all 55 reg plates so this makes them 3 years older the limit

B9s get used when 7609/10 are unavailable downside to that is the X93 allocations suffer as a result, nowt worse than being cramped in on a Lite or Temsa for over 2 hours

I'd personally do it like this... it's actually more aligned with NUTH's brand than before, and also includes the latest Arriva branding style.

Spare vehicles don't need to conform to an age limit but must be at least Euro 3, which is why you will always see a B9 deputise if a Gemini is off.

I don't think I've ever seen 7424-6 on the Park and Ride.

7424-6 did go on P&R quite regularly in 2017 before the VDL Gemini's were introduced to the service, can't say I've seen one on there since though

X93 Winter Timetable ends 4th April - so 5th April. Which also is reportedly this year's first round of changes on the Teesside and East Cleveland network.
