Solo 2827 is in an all over white livery on service 9/10 in Darlington today. Ready for repaint into Whitby park and ride. Any idea when the transfer and repaint will occur?

Repaint has already happened - white base livery ready for vinyls. Transfer should happen near to Easter which is when the 171 starts.

I'm a big fan of these Darts! Except the minimal leg room! Just something about them, they're so appealing! I'd rather ride one of these than a Solo

It was 1743! We gave it a steer when it left the Bus Station packed at 1025. Why Dormanstown/Whitby keep foisting this wreck on 93's beggars belief! In the words if Arriva " it's either this or nothing!" It got no better at 1125 when Temsa 4720 crawled, fully loaded, out of town.

Probably also worth mentioning 1305 was on X4 when I passed it in Brotton...!

Stockton Prestige 4037 came back out to play around 1100 to replace a failed 1460 on services 5/5A!

2808 on Service 64.

Leaving everyone to get on Service 7 because a Solo is not big enough to cope with peak time loadings.

Why won't they allocate the E400's they have available to the route they were brought in for ? But then given the reliability of them it's probably best that passengers are given half a chance of getting to their destinations (Whitby/Scarborough) using the likes of 1743 and 4080

Exactly that reason, reliability. I'm sure 7513 has just returned from having a new engine fitted so it may be they're running it in on less demanding territory before sending it back to Whitby.
