(16 Jul 2018, 5:57 pm)Michael Euston I thought 5 in winter, 3 extra for summer, then 2 more. But that's what i'm trying to work out.

Yep that's right 5 starting and finishing in Whitby that run all year round, 3 starting and finishing in Middlesbrough that run March-November (according to the new timetables on the Arriva site they're starting later on 14th April next year) and now an additional 2 starting and finishing in Middlesbrough running July-September. 

And then of course there's the 09:20 journey from Scarborough to Whitby that runs onto the P1/2. Is there a reason this journey doesn't run to Scarborough in service, for example they could have had an 08:06 journey from Whitby??

Someone correct me if I'm wrong... I think there is 9 boards over this enhanced summer timetable if I have worked things out correctly from looking at the timetable, so if my hunch is correct, that *should* mean the B9s and B7s will be allocated and no doubt the Temsa's will pop up frequently as stand ins although probably end up on there daily especially as 7402 has been confined to the 62 recently.

That would be only one bus extra to previous summers then? Used to be 6 Whitby and 2 Redcar.

7416 an extra bus to help out over the summer due to high VOR at Belmont. Will be required from September due to PVR increase.

Saw a diverted Arriva bus in Whitby last week, a school service which I never knew existed, to Ugthorpe . Cant remember the service number but must be students only.

It interworks with the 95, hence why one journey from Lealholme is Saturday only. It used to be allocated the old Enviro 200 from Coastal and Country.

Stockton's Frequenta pulsars are on the Sapphire streetlite 5/5a services. According to a notice I saw today on the 5, this is to ''assess the reliability of this type of bus on this route'' [can't remember the exact wording]. On a route with plenty of hills, they are much much better!

Considering it's one of the next vehicles to leave the fleet, HIGHLY unlikely it will receive new colours.
