(18 Sep 2018, 9:21 pm)Multi21 The X18 had to make do with E400s... You mean brand new not EX DEALER STOCK E400s. Christ next time someone offers me something brand new over second hand I'll have to remember to tell them I'll "Make Do" with it...

Second point... 10 and a half years old.. How old are Redcars B7s again? Duuuuuh! 

The Defence Rests!

Oh, of course! Silly me for forgetting that dealer stock buses have been ran ragged by numerous previous operators and Arriva didn't put any money into buying (and I believe upgrading) the best available vehicles for the route... 

So you're conveniently forgetting that Ashington, Blyth and Jesmond have 51/02/52 plate B7s then? Regardless of that, the B7s aren't the 'main' vehicle allocation for either route anyway.

I saw 7474 on service 86 to Toft Hill today  still with branding for service 43 and 44  It brought back memories as it was the bus I first used when operating Metro Replacement after it arrived from refurb after its life in London

Temsa 4721 on my X4 ride from Saltburn to Whitby today. Horrible seats, noisy engine and very slow going uphill. Luckily it was Streetlite 1565 on my return- and quite nippy going up Lythe Bank.

It's transferred to Belmont to see use on the X12 allowing deckers to go to Alnwick for X15.

Think 7412 - 7415 meaning the 306 will be part decker operated as 7511 - 7513 are going onto X20 alongside a Omnicity.

To be allocated to the 306? Will they receive a refurb?
