(21 Dec 2018, 10:44 pm)JM03 In the latest updates to the 53, is it now avoiding Benton ASDA as it no longer shows up?

Do you mean the timetable?

Kind Regards

Think I saw somewhere that there have been, or will be, road changes outside the Asda, such that the buses can no longer loop round a roundabout to serve that short section of road.

(21 Dec 2018, 3:09 pm)Pulsar 1499 is back at Jesmond on 52 today.
Saw 7410 back at Blyth on X8 this Wednesday.

Any one know why

Seen 2801 getting towed to blyth at 15:53 to day when I was on the 2 today it looks to have an electrical fire beside the cab window as it has that pannel missing and where it should be is all burnt up with 2 halves of a wire hanging out if a hole.
In other news 2802 is repainted so all solos in blyth are now in the new livery.
I have also heard the darts will be getting repainted so that will be interesting.

Hopefully 1760, 1769, 1791 are done first as they haven't had a repaint since new.

Surprised to hear that Blyth,s Darts are to be repainted- I thought they were gradually being withdrawn.

Sums up Arriva, penny pinching on drivers wages whilst repainting buses with 2-3 years of life left in them at most.

Be surprised if they last that long. They have a history of repainting buses and then getting rid of them. Eg 1711, 1743.
Shows they could have kept the rest of the newer darts longer if they'd wanted.

Are we talking about the Jesmond one? If so Arriva will have it until it's up for tender and they can gain it if Nexus award them it again.
