My guess would be a Durham 7 with the wrong duty entered

(03 Dec 2017, 12:33 pm)Stuartphin1639 Supposedly the 12/19 is coming off the 1/5/5A running boards when these change to sapphire

Copied from odd workings thread - I've heard a few mentions of the impending delivery of these StreetLite's but each time only the 1/5 have been mentioned, nothing said about the 12/19, whether there is reason for this or not, I don't know.

I've had a crazy thought, the 23 is supposedly joining the Sapphire brand, I don't know what the 1/5/5A PVR would be if the above is true although I think when they interworked like before it had a PVR of 9 I think, if this was the same again, I have had a thought of somewhere else the remaining new StreetLite's would go:

Displace the 63 plate Pulsar's off the 7 and replace them with 4 new StreetLite's (3 at Darlington and 1 at Belmont) although you would have to use one of 1595-1601 to make up the full PVR of the 7, then allocate the Sapphire  7 branded Pulsar's to the 23 and some more of the standard livery Pulsar's would remain at Darlington depot for the 8/8A, 12/19 etc. This idea would save on the cost of refurbishing buses to Sapphire standard for the 23.

Highly doubt this would ever happen, will probably be as before except the 12/19 will no longer interwork with the 1/5/5A.

Since I live in east Durham I would prefer the 22/23/24 be all pulsars in the new sapphire colours with east Durham on the side and not route branded and the streetlites from the 22 and 23 to go to Darlington.

Think the 23 examples are destined for Jesmond to replace the last of the Volvo B10BLE's.

All should have been done last week. Rears should have been amended too.

Internally, one of the maps for the 22 (or 24) has been removed, and replaced with one for the service that it is missing.

30 minutes later another streetlite went past but still had the originally 22 logo along the bus.

Give them time. They've only had 6 weeks. They might even finish the job of changing all the rear end maps, if you're patient.

If anyone is wanting photos of the Tempos then make sure you get them soon. They'll be displaced shortly!

How long have ANE been including depot names on their NIS?

Haven't long seen a Streetlite with:
'Not in Service'
 Redcar Depot

Neither had I until last night.
I assume it had worked an X3/A, as it was heading along the A174 towards the New Marske roundabout.
Too far away (and too dark) to get the vehicle id unfortunately.

They all have it as far as I know. It's just an alternative to the main NIS screen, which most drivers use the default.
