(17 Sep 2021, 6:47 pm)V514DFT Basically,theyre knackered,theres only a few options for them
1) Sold to another operator
2) Scrapped
3) Maybe 1 or 2 retained and put into driver training role

(17 Sep 2021, 10:51 am)peter According to BusTimes 4658 as well.
None have tracked on BusTimes since the end of July so highly plausible

(19 Sep 2021, 11:12 am)peter Again this is just going off BusTimes but 4643 hasn't tracked since August 25th and 4652 hasn't tracked since August 14th respectively. Of course, if there's a lack of spare parts/delayed delivery some of these could end up being resurrected but given that they're life expired you'd hope if PVR's ever do re-increase Darlington that newer vehicles are sourced from elsewhere

(19 Sep 2021, 3:41 pm)Andreos1 I'm surprised they haven't thought outside the box like GNE did and invested in some donor vehicles from elsewhere. Assuming the price works for them...
There's obviously an issue with parts somewhere and it's certainly not unique to one operator either.

(19 Sep 2021, 6:46 pm)Storx In fairness it probably wouldn't make sense buying buses outside of Arriva to keep buses going which are finished. There's not going to be many older Omnicity's than 05 plates.
The GNE ones have had an easier life with some of them up here being on the X93 and more recently on the X15/X18/685/X66/X67 which aren't easy routes.
It would make sense to get proper replacements here to and send them down to the Midlands to keep the 58/09 plates going down there though mind.
