Arriva E400s into new livery
Arriva E400s into new livery
Can't find a fourm for this but 7525 Ashington Enviro 400 has been put into journey Mark livery
(29 Apr 2022, 4:37 pm)Storx Wonder if the Jesmond depot is a mistake or a hint where these are going in the future when the new buses are coming.Aren't all Arriva programmed with the same displays, maybe the driver just put it on because he was sent to collect it and take it to Jesmond temporarily
Interesting to see Ashington's E400s being sent to Merseyside whilst Merseyside's are at Thorntons...in Ashington!

It will be interesting to see where these end up. Logical decision for 7522 (already there), 7524-25, 7529-33 and 7553-56 would be 43/44/45 with 7526-28 as Ashington's spares. But as others have said, could be a mix of singles and doubles on the 43/44/45.
If the 306 does move to Blyth depot though, would there be a likelihood of an actual order for both the 306 & 308 given they'd likely interwork? Rather than historically where the 306 has used older vehicles or single deckers.

(10 May 2022, 10:11 pm)mb134 Don't see how the logical decision would be to move 7524/5 away from the depot that is currently spending money on refurbing them...Well it won't be the depot but more likely Arriva. Perhaps they're getting ahead of the game getting things repainted ready for cascades.

It takes 8 weeks to repaint a bus, rip the stickers out of the inside and replace the headrests? Have I missed something?
Also a shame to see that these have gone to St Helens, the scouse counterpart to the infamous Jesmond paint booth where every bus comes out with a different livery application.
