(10 Oct 2018, 6:29 am)Michael Just seen the ED4 in Sunderland... empty, rarely see it but does it get busy?


I see the ED4 everything morning on Burnhope Way coming off the A19 in Peterlee and it’s a full load , normally it’s a pulsar that does the run, after college it goes to the industrial estate in Peterlee where it terminates.

Are any of the pulsars and streetlites off the 22/23/24 getting painted in the new livery yet, as I’ve seen some crap buses doing the runs on these services lately

It picks up one on North Hylton Road, two get on at Fulwell The Grange, then a few on along the route. At Ryhope and Seaham it picks loads up.

Return journeys tend to be quiet as most Students don't like staying back until 17:00 for the bus home. On the Friday return journey nobody gets on from the College as who would wait ages for that when their college passes are valid on the 22/23/X21.

Just seen a Solo in new livery on the 2 to Blyth. Possibly 2810 as I have seen the others recently.

Stockton Pulsars 1444/5 and 1446/7 are going out on loan to Darlington and Durham respectively for the week. In exchange, Stockton will be receiving 2835/60 and 2822/3 - for use on 7/7A this week with Yarm Fair.

God help them if they get 2822. It has to be the worst Solo around with a window that doesn't shut properly and rattles to the MAX. When I had it before the driver wanted the window kept open.

Yeah, those 08 plate solo sheds need refurbishing, the seats are just unclean and I'm sure they don't get dusted. A good refurbishment plan would be for them to get leather seats as they will look much more smarter inside and make the services more attractive for customers.

While they are at it they should give 2801 an engine refit as it's engine makes a horrible squeel that you can here from miles away.

Actually concerned to see that the Solos haven't been refurbished under both the "smarten-up" projects over the last couple of years, whereas other vehicles (Temsas, Geminis etc) have been.
