(30 Dec 2014, 9:24 pm)Kuyoyo No, 4653 is 'MAX X15' - 4663 is still in the original version of Arriva livery.

Whoops - got mixed up.
Sorry.

(30 Dec 2014, 9:21 pm)mb134 Because they will inevitably appear on the 1/2 at some point, would this class as an odd working since they gained the WiFi for X14 purposes?

I'd reckon so - they should be used on the 33/57A/X14 workings ideally.

(30 Dec 2014, 1:24 pm)Kuyoyo Yep - think that is one that's avoid the cameras until I caught it yesterday 

(30 Dec 2014, 9:12 pm)tyresmoke Former Park & Ride Solos 2857 and 2861 have now entered service following repaint, at Jesmond depot. They should transfer to Darlington shortly.

MPDs 1773/1774/1775 have returned to service at Blyth following repaint at Thorntons too
I understand Dart 1611 has moved to Jesmond and has seen at least some use.

One of Durham's former T-FGN deckers was seen on tow to Alphas earlier today. Unsure which one sadly.

Fleet lists updated accordingly. Smile

They probably just want turning down. All of our drivers know how to do it at Stockton, but we are 'forbidden' from touching them. If they're too high they'll get turned down though!

My dad was on it today and he said it was loud too.

If it is as loud as it's made out to be I may even consider complaining to Arriva and would give me another reason to use the 7 instead.

Yet on the Sapphire X21/X22 you can barely hear the announcements.

Seems strange for these Solos to appear at Jesmond.  Are they short on  vehicles at present?

The one I was on was loud but not too loud.
1511's next stop display/announcements weren't working today as the screen was stuck on Kwik Fit.

Passed Lowlander 7443 today and noticed it had ARRIVA in the black lettering on the front panel which looked to have had a recent paint job
