(09 Sep 2018, 8:15 pm)Adrian X12 to go fully single deck? Not sure it'll need deckers anymore, without the big loadings of students to the Stockton Campus?

It'd make more sense to have a full Pulsar allocation across the 56/57/57A/X12, if they can achieve that with what they have got.
Well i always thought the 21 was better, lost one fave arriva buses on one of my fave routes. Will these be given new codes and can i get a lis of cascades to certain depots if possible please?

Will 1915/16 be renumbered or will it stay as is

More than likely to be renumbered - 7626 has likewise been renumbered in Yorkshire before entry into service (as their 1551).

Reports on the 'Travel West Yorkshire' Forum confirmed the other pair of Geminis moving to Yorkshire are 7618/9 (likely to become 1549/50) in exchange for Yorkshire's 1917/8 (SN15 LLF/G).

Saturday mornings excepted. Still full by Coxhoe, through the summer.

If they saw a significant decrease in daily loadings they'd do the same too. There's better places for the DB300s to be utilised than going around half empty on the X12.

The swaps are enabling a much needed upgrade at Northumbria, meaning that the X15 can have a reliable fleet, and that the elderly E400s move onto less taxing routes before they're withdrawn.

Both of them were - 7553 should still be out now on the last departure from Newcastle to Middlesbrough. Both have had their fleetnumbers changed but retain their Yorkshire branding (and I should imagine will do so until the movements are completed - presumably seeing them gain X15 branding in some way shape or form).

1496 was not safety checked properly this morning as in the safety check you have to check the pressure in the doors so they don't fly whilst the viechle is moving and whilst it was serving on the 11:07 308 to blyth the door flew abit open. This has been the case with blyth's 2810 which has a door which cant shut properly and ashington's 2813 which has both of their doors open abit lest to flap about. Arriva really don't care about how safe their buses are they only care that they have the right amount of viechles and are on time. Also last week a 306 cut across the queu at haymarket to get to the 309 stand instead of delaying its self enen more to be safe but instead he did that because he arrived 3 mins after depart. The 309 driver stoped in the X18 stand webt to the 306 driver got him to move but the 306 refused and the 309 driver called him a f*cking idiot
