(28 Mar 2015, 8:29 pm)tyresmoke Might be worth pointing out that 1753 is now finished after today on service 7, it's last trip would have been the 1727 from Willey Flatts back to Stockton, with the arrival of the 2 Solos (2805/2829) over the last few days.

It's been confirmed this morning that Arriva have reached an agreement to purchase the operations of Scarlet Band and the Dales & District arm of Procters Coaches. This will be absorbed into the Arriva NE operation although these operations will be kept separate much like the successful Yorkshire Tiger operation. A new brand will be revealed in due course, although services are expected to remain the same

Can anyone shed any light on the photo ANE posted on their Facebook page when the signed off today?
Something along the lines of "Soundtrack to your bus journey" including "Man Who Can't Be Moved, I Will Wait, Shut Up and Drive"

They might be trialling music on board the buses, but at Preston Bus they've trialled it and nobody likes it.
Here is a snippet from Buses Magazine, You Write titled "This 'music' is like listening to contravision";
"The 'music' forced on passengers is continuous local commercial radio: a mix of trashy pop music, advertisements and banter. It feels intrusive and unpleasant. At first I thought it was an anti-social yobbo. There is no escape for customers as it is played on both decks."
