Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2017
(25 Apr 2017, 2:53 pm)Dan Anyone who has five minutes might want to check the fleet lists/news over. I think I'm up to date now, but a lot has gone on that hasn't been noted on this forum, so there may be things that I've missed.
(26 Apr 2017, 9:10 am)omnicity4659 7475 is currently at Ashington, and has been for a few weeks now, part of PVR of 35.
Doesn't look like the fleet lists have updated, still showing the old allox.

Not sure that 7477 is still with the fleet - a little light Googling of the registration turns up photos of the vehicle in white livery with Yorkshire Tiger.

And wasn't 1763 the Dart that was donated to some kind of technical training college somewhere like Gateshead?

One other area for clarification is the fate of Darts 1651/53/54/55, shown in the Fleet List as being for disposal at Redcar, but discussed recently on this very forum without a conclusion; not there (as far as I could see, and confirmed by another observer) at the start of May, but no other information as yet proffered by this forum.

(30 May 2017, 8:32 am)Dan Thanks - I've just seen your post from March regarding its transfer.
Why did it transfer to Ashington in March? I don't recall this being noted on the allocation sheets, that's all.

7806 has had its branding modified to not show North Shields.
(30 May 2017, 5:28 pm)Cock Robin I'm told 1626/47/56 are at Darlington.
So where are 1651/3/4/5?!

(31 May 2017, 4:45 pm)S813 FVK Why can't they just 1 version of the MAX livery for all services, rather than the countless variations that they have.
Hopefully the new liveries being rolled out in the jext few years can tidy the fleet up a bit and bring about some consistency.
