    Also any update on which buses are due for their repaint? Are they going to redo the pulsar?

    1759 on the 63 today.

    Think they have finished with them now, 1465 is also Sapphire, 1468 however is a Stockton Pulsar.

    All the native Temsas (4701-7/9-13/5-20) have all been repainted (and refurbished) along with 4700. The remaining Temsas (4721-6) are also due to be treated. After that, Stockton’s Pulsars are due for refurbishment.

    1915 still at Durham? How has Stockton all these spare buses even though most of the Cadets have come off, 1923 off the road and 1536 not out yet?!

    Funnily enough...

    1915 returned to Stockton this morning (presumably the fitter which brought it back then took 1455)
    And
    1536 entered service this morning on X22s (after a College run)

    At least one of the ex-Yorkshire MAX E400s have received tacky generic "quick links into Newcastle" branding.

    7601 had loads of alarms going off on the 16.05 X8 on my journey from blyth to cowpen. It started in blyth when the driver arrived and started the bus up  an alarm kept on going off with Every warning light in the cab flashing up in the cab and the speedometer loosing power whipst the alarms went off. this happened alot during my ride as well as the doors taking 5 attempts to open at the isabella. Every time this alarm went odf the driver just shruged and shook his head and carried on. I have been told by my step-dad that it could be the altinator which charges the battery up.

    EconoSpeed explained by DB, unfortunately they seem to think the people of the North East speak German.

    Does anyone know what the new PVR of Darlington's 1/5/X1 is? 

    Does the 12 or 19 interwork with anything now or are they stand alone?
