So why has it been cancelled then re registered? Unless the cancellation was for something else.

I have no idea but the cancellation was for the end of October, its possible that the extra weekday afternoon journeys are possibly supported by Durham County Council like the school day journeys that were previously operated by Central Coaches. So perhaps the 42 may not be cancelled in October now.

I'm now wondering how long until Arriva stop serving Brasside altogether.

The 42 cancellation appears to be a mistake on VOSA as I've just looked back to Thursday when it was posted and it says cancellation accepted then it says to amend timetable from yesterday in the same registration.

I saw this in Darlington on Saturday and on the front panel above the Optare badge you can see where an Arriva name and logo has been removed.

Where was this as there is an extra journey on a morning which goes onto the 110/111/112 after it arrives in Durham.

I think I saw V931VUB around 1515 parked in the bus stop at Burn Lane on Newton Aycliffe schools service 879 which also runs off 110/111/112.

Hopefully all their buses will soon all be repainted into fleet livery and gain front LED screens.
When does the Durham Park and Ride start and what vehicles will Scarlet Band be using? 
Scarlet Band take over the Park and Ride on Monday 27th October.

Don't know what buses will be used though.

New Solos I believe.
