(18 Oct 2018, 9:33 pm)S830OFT When will branded buses (4812 - 4814) return to service X21?

4812 hasn’t been fixed properly since it’s accudent at Aycliffe

4813 is the same

4814 keeps over heating whenever it’s out of town but did manage a full day on 1/5/5A/19 the other day when I seen it

So in answer to the question I don’t think they will be

Anyone had sight of the ex-Yorkshire ADL E400s at Ashington today? Trying to track them down but could do with a bit of a headstart as I'm limited time-wise today!

There was one on the 306 yesterday, but I'm not yet sure if that would count as a "Rare and Unusual" entry!

(28 Sep 2018, 10:25 am)Kuyoyo Since it was reported in the Rare Working thread, the first of the 'MAX' swaps has taken place

7553 is now at Ashington
That has displaced 7415 to Jesmond
Which has released 1482 to Durham

Understand that from Monday, one of Durham's X12s is booked for a B7TL - although that's likely to be 7620 unless its swap takes place this weekend...…..

Haven't seen any photos of 7415 at Jesmond yet - but I managed to stumble across it today.

3 SB200/Centros are Stockton bound if rumors are to be believed. 725, 726 and 728. 727 I believe has been scrapped due to a major RTC. YJ58 FFB C E Im told. Should arrive in the coming weeks.

This is correct, although I expect them to be 15xx fleet numbers instead of 19xx as different chassis?

1506 has arrived at Belmont, now in Journey Mark Sapphire livery with branding for 22|23|24.

Shame about the half finished interior though, seems to be a trend at Arriva NE and Yorkshire, Selby's Geminis haven't had a full refurbishment either...

Following the arrival of 1506 back in the North East, 1413 has now gone down for refurbishment.
