(30 Jul 2015, 12:36 pm)S813 FVK Apart from when covering for X66 and X26/X27 branded examples, do any of the 3 Spare MAX omnicities make up any of Darlington's PVR? I was just thinking, could one not be transferred to Stockton temporarily to allow the X12 to go fully MAX for the period of the Millburngate Bridge works rather than using a standard spec Pulsar (although i believe some do have wifi)?

(30 Jul 2015, 12:38 pm)Jimmi X75/X76 has a PVR of 3 and is due to become MAX, it should be getting Pulsar's 1404-1407.
8/8A also has a PVR of 3 but doesn't really fit into the MAX branded I feel.

(30 Jul 2015, 12:40 pm)S813 FVK When are they due to go MAX? It wouldn't be a permanent transfer - just until the boards get passed to Durham again once the works have finished.1416 might be better with it being a Pulsar but i was just thinking after seeing one of the two corporate liveried Pulsars on the X12 when i was in Stockton yesterday.

(30 Jul 2015, 12:47 pm)Jimmi Where exactly are these MAX buses randomly being sourced from for this to happen? I'm a bit confused.

(30 Jul 2015, 1:01 pm)S813 FVK Other than being spares for the X26/X27 and X66, do the 3 'Darlington' omnicities make up any part of Darlingtons PVR? If not, could Darlington afford to loan one to Stockton for the rest of the Millburngate Bridge works allowing service X12 to be operated by MAX liveried vehicles only rather than a corporate liveried pulsar each day?
It is only a suggestion and won't necessarily happen but it would bring a bit pf consistency to the route. Mind, how this will affect Darlington i don't know as a couple of X66 branded Scanias souned like hoovers yesterday (and the Stockon ones sounded fine).

Well the 22/24 interworking clearly isn't failsafe. 22 just left Durham 15 minutes late. We'd have been standing around even longer ha the rookie driver on the x12 not missed the bus station and diverted us over the bridge and back.

Had 1532 on the 22 and there was no WiFi and now I have 1513 on the 7 and it won't let connect as I have exceeded my WiFi usage, possibly because it's the same example I had this morning.
