(25 Jul 2015, 10:11 am)GX03 SVC 7505 has been towed into Ashington depot courtesy of Alpha Big Grin

Meanwhile, there is an ex-London DLP in the depot.

Any idea which DLP it is? A batch of these have been 'missing' from London for months!

It's in the 2x range, the front bumper is missing so I couldn't get a reg, but I want to say 26.

X12 workings are slightly different on Saturdays, with one of Durham's weekday boards worked by Stockton on Saturdays while Durham work one of Stockton's weekday boards on Saturdays,

To clarifiy:
Stockton work the 0725 from Middlesbrough on a Saturday (Durham work the 0715 weekday version) finishing with the 1735 to Durham (1740)
Durham work the 0720 from Durham to Middlesbrough which Stockton work during the week at 0705

EDIT: I'm however not sure what works the 1810 from Middlesbrough to Durham on a Saturday as it works off a 17 board during the week

Some news from Stockton this morning...
1912 was back in service yesterday on 17s, with 1902 now back in the corner of the yard (along with 1753 1756, 1901, 1908, 4501, 4506)
1423 has arrived from Durham
2807 is on loan to Redcar for Moorsbus this weekend and we have 1101 in it's place. Hopefully a bit more successful than previous Solos we've sent...!

Oh and we don't do that 1810 X12 so it must be a Durham run

Must do the 1810 during the week as I'm lead to understand the Pulsar board on the 17 does an X12 on the end, and that does the 1640 X17 to Ingleby Barwick then the 1716 17 back, that is the only X12 that fits into the rest

Yup but you were on about Saturday which is a Durham run (off the 1805 arrival, logically)

If it did, it was 5+ minutes late last night - certainly hadn't shown up by the time I left town on the 1832 59

(26 Jul 2015, 2:07 pm)mb134 It's only £7 for a day ticket, the £7.70 day ticket, if I recall correctly, covers all of Northumberland, up to Berwick.

£7 is for an All Zone Triple Ticket, so you can only use it in the Morpeth, Ashington, Blyth Valley, Tyne and Wear and Tyne Valley Zones.

A £7.70 day ticket can be used on any North East service, with a couple of exceptions.

Not 100% sure on this, but I think 7505 was on the X22 today/this evening. So whatever was wrong, wasn't massive

Could have been 7505 being its usual self, I've saw it broken down twice now. It'll be on par with 7466 soon...  Wink

Buses breaking down is a fact of life... Everything will break from time to time, some more than others maybe, but it doesn't mean they're the worst in the fleet. Those DAFs are certainly tired compared to when we first got them though!
