(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.

What? Spend money? No chance and god help them keeping new drivers when they will only be earning a maximum of £9/hr for years to come.

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).

And they actually work, although i would say that the volume is inconsistent. The 'The next stop is' is much quieter than the actual stop name. It felt like i was being shouted at

Cheers, couldn't remember hearing any mention of announcements for these services but do remember a possibility of NSA's for the X93 which hasn't happened.

Arriva have installs coming up on 5 Redcar buses in the next fortnight or so, I heard today.

Possibly could be these B9s - though not sure about what's happening with the sixth bus?

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.

Don't see any problem with using phones while parked at bus stops but this one was driving along texting for 10 minutes, or so it says.

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.

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!
