(19 Apr 2021, 7:25 pm)davidt128 I'm brand new to this Forum, so I hope I'm not repeating info nor am I in the wrong place.
Recently seen active in Darlington are 2856 and 7518. Transfers or loans ? Or do they just need to stretch their pistons !

(30 Apr 2021, 3:09 pm)Stuartphin1639 7518 got transferred last year due to extra capacity needed on the 1/5/5A/X1 and the 7
2856 by all accounts is a permanent fixture again at Darlington, if plans still as they were a larger solo is getting transferred up to Redcar/Whitby, but due to the amount of VOR (vehicles off road) none of these changed have happened yet, unless they’ve sent 1760 up to Redcar/Whitby instead

1401 back from the dead at Blyth, christ it can't have much long left surely?
I can confirm that. It was 10 mins late. Its in bad need of a paint job and was struggling. Sounds okay but can't see it on the road much longer. It's surprisingly that it's sister 1402 can do a 57 rota for half of the day. Will do 4 trips on the 57A and 5 on the 57

Ashington have a Frequenta YJ58 CBO
On the 57rota https://flic.kr/p/2kZMZv1
7455 is the 3rd arriva bus to return back from the dead in the last 2-3 months, returned on Wednesday. Managed to get a good ride on it on a return on the 43 and it was verry impressive and sounded full of life, wonder if 7456 will make a comeback. So glad to see 7455 back I must say.
Good to see 7455 back love the lowlanders, like low flying aircraft when able to stretch their legs . Hopefully 7456 wont be far behind in returning.

(10 Jun 2021, 6:32 am)GNE6312 Have 2843/49 replaced 1800/01 as they seem to always be on the Dennis dart boards on the 57/A. They were only meant to be at Ashington for a diversion shuttle but have stayed, are Ashington keeping them?

Thank god for that. Guess this means 1800/01 will now be withdrawn or used as spares
(10 Jun 2021, 6:39 am)mb134 They're now Ashington based, yes. There are no MPD boards on the 57 now.So I presume that means 2849/43 have replaced the MPDs. Now that means we just have to see how long till the quick links to Darlington branding is removed from them.
7411 also now Ashington based.
Just spotted a couple of Yorkshire tigers on the backs of lorries heading northbound on the Gateshead western bypass.
