Rumour has it they were looking for some sort of outstation premises up that way.

Stockton MPD 1771 is currently on service 5A to Brotton. It replaced Prestige 4062.

4712 not in the best nick.
Getting a lift North somewhere on the A1 south of Bowburn.
Missing rear offside cluster and not sure of steering had gone judging by the inward facing front wheels.

Changes to the 22/23/24 route and timetable, wonder what th could be changing? I wonder if there's demand for the current four buses an hour between Sunderland & Peterlee? On the 23/24.
I'm not sure how busy the 23/22 get at Hartlepool, but the 22/24 seems to get decent loadings on the Durham-Peterlee sections.

I believe it's to do with the routes in Peterlee estates.

yes. the 22 will be going via Southway and Helford Road, so I think in Hartlepool the 23 route will go via the 22 route and vice versa like what it used to be before the changes, don't know about the 24 yet, the 24 might be going via Oakerside on evenings. 50/50 at present until some confirmation comes to light via Arriva or Durham Council, been looking on Arriva website under Peterlee and only has the new 21/21A timetable for October 27th 2013 so far.

Not a clue how this one went un-noted, but thanks to Peter Atkinson who has just messaged the site's Facebook account with this update:

Ashington Driver Trainer 8212 (L502TKA) has left Arriva North East and is now in service with Arriva Yorkshire.
It arrived during April 2013 - and looks very nice in her new livery...

I've removed this record from the Arriva North East fleetlist.

The changes for the Arriva 22 and 23 are below:

The 22 is re-routed around Helford Road and Southway and the 23 is re-routed in Hartlepool to terminate the same way as the 57A (ie no longer serves ASDA).

Don't know the changes for the 24 yet.
