It’s that time of year again - Yarm Fair week. Durham Solo 2818/20/3/39 are now at Stockton for the week. In exchange, Durham have 1414/69 and two others. Three more swaps to take place shortly

Why on earth give Darlington two Pulsars that are branded for a Stockton route!!

True. But I suppose they couldn't give anything else from Redcar as they couldn't drive a Temsa! Maybe a Sapphire.

1609 is getting towed away by Alpha from Bishop Auckland Bus Station. Apparently been there since this morning with brake issues[Image: 748044c646d86fc4941679e2a7d0aa1e.jpg]

It’s finally gone bang, been having issues all week a driver was playing warning light bingo the other day with this
7423 has no tree guard on, looks like its come off, quite concerning seeing as it's on the 64 which has plenty of low trees on it going through newton hall
1512 has had all exterior branding for sapphire taken off
2818/39 have returned to Durham this morning. Stockton therefore have 2815/22 in exchange
With the up coming time table changes approach I have a couple of questions
any buses that will be definitely withdrawn ?
Any transfers due to happen
Suspect 1759 and 4516 might finally come off with the winter X93 starting. 4516's test is due.

&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>It's out most days on 64/64a. Officially, it's on allocation for the aforementioned RC4 on a morning and X3 school dupe on an afternoon. Normally however, 4516 is sent out on an early 64 board (it's been used on Redcar's 5A working in the past) and a Temsa or even a Streetlite works its allocated turn. Of course, the argument should have been that when Stockton's PVR dropped back in July, one of the released Pulsars should have cascaded. Of course, Ashington ended up requiring an extra bus with the lose of the E400, Stockton needed to retain one to cover for 1417 (and subsequently retained it for the PVR increase with the S1) and Durham were just in need.</p>

What are Ashington supposed to do with it? ?
