Can't be 7434 as that was a ALX400 that transferred to Yorkshire Tiger. Was it a Lowlander? Also 56/57/57A/86 all interwork with each other.

Yeah it was a Lowlander. I'm guessing it would have been 7454?

Depends whether it was a Y or 57 reg, as you also have 7444 ending in 4.

57 reg iirc.

They don't come much rarer than that.
4643 has now been replaced on the 1/5/5A/19 by 1426
2803 on 17...
1595 on the 7s, 16:07 off Darlington 15 mins late, it's about to get hammered as college kids have just come out
1564 adding a touch of sparkle to the 64A this evening.

Was just about to post that as I seen 4645 coming down north road, meanwhile a sapphire pulsar spent the day on X75/X76
7403 on 64/64a
1414 on X66

Blyth haven't got much to operate the minibus services with. There's 3 minibuses out of use - 1758 and 1799 have transferred to Yorkshire Tiger and one is VOR.

Or...it may be something to do with the peak passenger loadings on the 2.

They shouldn't be minibus services anyway, a Gemini is a bit extreme like Wink

One of the Quorum Commanders has been on there the past three days, far more suitable.
Typical Jesmond.... a Nexus Solo is allocated to the short X12's.

1421 is playing on the X66/X67 from your end today Scott

Yup I gather it replaced 1404 prior to departure from depot this morning.
1415 is swanning around on 9/27/27A mind...

There's always the clause that you can use a non DDA bus for 20 days a year of course, but I'm guessing that it shouldn't be out and indeed I messaged some people as soon as I spotted it this morning.

Spoilsport!

Didn't make much difference as 4511 was on 81s Tuesday. And 4507 came out after being on the pits but don't know if went on service. Wasn't through M'bro.
1470 Spending a day sparkling. It's on 5/5A. Haven't seen 1512 today. 1555 is the missing Streetlite again

1515. Couldn't post the video.
7519 on 43 yesterday.

1512 is on the 5/5a today so there must be another Streetlite missing as well.

Here we go with the typical nonsense again. 

Enlighten me on the location of 1764? VOR possibly?

It would of made sense to have 2 so if ones VOR they have a back up.

What difference does it make?

A minibus is a minibus.

Be lovely to see you in charge of bus companies.

It would have made Ashington short of minibuses if we followed your plan....

Ashington already have given Blyth 1790 on loan...

And guess where 4511 has turned up, that's correct Darlington depot

Thats Jimmis plan for tomorrow sorted Tongue

Going back to maturity...
