(30 May 2017, 9:01 am)Dan Thanks - do you know which Pulsar went for repaint, once 1448 returned?

As Ian said 1450, 1451 going next week, to be followed by 1453. Then apparently it's 1445/6/7
So it will be 1445/6/7/8/9/50/1/2/3/4/5/6 although I'd expect 1444 to be done aswell!

Only 1448-1456 are being repainted. 9 for 9 PVR.

Spares will come from 1457-1460 which will have Stockton replaced with Town on the livery.

Do the 27/27a still interwork with the 9? If so, then I assume they won't when the service goes Frequenta if just 9 buses are being done and they're for a PVR of 9?

The 27/27a ceased interworking with the 9 in February. Since then it has reverted to the old way of the 9 being standalone with 4 buses and the 27/27a interworking with 9. Of course, 9 branded for the route would reduce the increased amount of spares on a Saturday given the 27/27a has a PVR of 6 on Saturdays.

Thanks for the quick reply! Do you by any chance know the PVR of the 15? By my calculations it would be 13 but then there are only currently 10 buses branded for the 15 so I'm not sure - do three of 1457-1460 make up the PVR?

The PVR of the 15 is 12 - so two of the spares make up the PVR. Same as Redcar's 63 is PVR 13 but there's only 11 branded buses so two of the spares make up the PVR.

Redcar/Whitby allocations apart from the 93-branded deckers and the minibuses are totally arbitrary. Whitby could have anything of Redcar's. They SHOULDN'T have 1429-39 or 4700-2 though as they are Frequenta branded!

1104 and at least 3 others of a similar ilk look like they're off to the great bus station in the sky.
Seen on the Tees Flyover heading North about half an hour ago.

Replaying to myself here it's been removed from service due to chassis rot, how on earth has that happened to such a young bus? and how bad is it? Anybody know of a way I can go and see it? And what's a tree guard?

A tree guard is that metal cage on the nearside edge by the front upper deck window of many double deckers - essential for many services in Durham! I remember one of the old Y reg lowlanders had a nice big fibreglass patch on the corner, clearly pre-dating the fitting of a treeguard.
