(02 Nov 2019, 2:22 pm)Cock Robin Apparently its because its more expensive to replace smashed windows on Temsas so they're using Pulsars on the boards that stay out all night.

With the end of the Summer X93 timetable last night, two of Redcar's B7s will be going on their winter holidays to Durham later today, with two of Durham's Pulsars moving to Stockton for the additional PVR resources with the temporary winter interworking pattern at the depot (as of last Monday, 9/17/17a interwork Monday to Saturday and an additional vehicle has been added to 8s on weekdays).

</p><p>I'm sure Arriva would put the safety of everybody on the bus before revenue. Arriva could introduce a Day Ticket between Redcar and Middlesbrough for both Train & Bus, that way bus services alike the 64A can see their last journeys withdrawn, it is simply unaffordable in any form to continue running buses when the windows are smashed on a frequent basis. Additionally on top of this it must clearly be causing anxiety & stress for drivers & passengers who are being made victims of this through no fault of their own...</p><p>

There has been a crash involving a bus on the 23 today apparently. Give any details to what bus was involved if possible please
1413 has gone back to Durham after a brief appearance in use at Stockton on Sunday (doing the Park & Ride, a duplicate X12 direct to Middlesbrough and covering the 2015 5 out of the Bus Station as far as half way down Borough Road where it ended up with a flat tyre), and it appears from Bus Times that 1473 has come in its place.
