Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2017
(30 Apr 2017, 1:50 pm)L469 YVK Surely it would now be time for Arriva to follow suit like GNE / Stagecoach and install GPS radios. Would be far better and allow many services to get regulated when in trouble and get back on time.

Moorsbus kicked off it's 2017 season today, with Darlington using last years regular 1511 whilst Redcar had Sapphire 1569 on their workings today.

Picked up a leaflet for the Whitby Park & Ride service today and just noticed that it advertises audio visual announcements. How long have the P&R buses had these? (providing they do actually have them).

1438 is on loan to Darlington depot today, it's out somewhere on the 1/5/19 circuit.
EDIT: We think it's the 09:05 5 off Darlington Town Centre.

Oooh!
Looks a lovely day for it too.
Arriva have a Cross Pennine Scania at Hexham Abbey today (10am–12pm) while Stagecoach have an Enviro 300 in Carlisle City Centre (10am–4pm).
This is to promote the new integrated ticketing between both companies which came into effect from yesterday. Lots of freebies and giveaways, plus bird of prey demonstrations at the events.
4660 is the bus Arriva is using for today's promotional event

1438 has now returned to Redcar from Darlington as 2832 is now on 3/3A/3B
4664 has moved to Ashington and been on the X20 for the last few days, presumably freeing up a MAX decker to be used on the summer extra X18.
Am I missing some point or something to this advert? The 6, 56 and 86 don't go to or anywhere near Darlington!
Anyone know what the assorted Darts parked up at the back of Redcar are? 1738 and 1739 were there, but there were at least two more unidentifiable.
Cheers!
