As it will have been a Stockton bus, as they have the three branded single deckers, it was probably running light for some reason. Stockton has a chassis wash, so probably not that.

No idea what the cause was, as I just avoided it instead. Do you no which bus was allocated to the x24 RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2016 - Jimmi - 02 Jul 2016 New branding is currently being applied to the Frequenta 64 branded E200's advertising free WiFi and USB charging points (even though they have plugs). ![]() A selection of Durham buses have received rear adverts advertising stuff related to Arriva such as this one for WiFi on 1324. Saw one of these styled adverts on at least one of the standard liveried Pulsar's as well. 2823 is the latest Solo to be repainted into Frequenta base livery for the 49/49A. ![]() RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2016 - Jimmi - 02 Jul 2016 (02 Jul 2016, 8:08 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com wrote Do you no which bus was allocated to the x24 7487 was on the X24 today, was last Saturday as well.

And last - only 4 required unless they plan on having a spare example.

Simply being a member of this forum, albeit one who doesn't post anymore, isn't exactly confirmation of this alleged service coming into fruition now does it?

I have to agree I'm afraid. Other members are going to be sceptical of information, unless it comes from someone who is regularly reliable with information, or is attributed to a source. It's like me saying that I've heard they're re-routing the X12 via the moon, but I can't tell you who has told me. RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2016 - L469 YVK - 03 Jul 2016 Do Arriva not have any orders for the North East area for this year then?

I don't think they have any for anywhere, from what I've seen. Too much uncertainty for them, at the moment.

So far that batch of E400MMCs and a sole Wright Streetdeck have been delivered to Arriva. The Streetdeck has went on trial at one of the Southern Counties Depots I believe. Though like what BLM said, There is a bit uncertainty going through the company and DB want to sell shares and sell some divisions. Arriva have just sold there Burton-On-Trent depot to Midland Classic a few weeks back. RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2016 - Designline - 04 Jul 2016 if the arriva are selling shares could they not sell the Northumberland division to companies like Travelure glenvalley or perryman?

That's probably like you or me hoping for first dibs if ever Buckingham palace went up for sale.

Arriva have just sold there Burton-On-Trent depot to Midland Classic a few weeks back. Indeed they have and this change comes into effect from 1st August 2016. However, Arriva operated X38s (joint operated with Trent Barton) will transfer to Derby depot.

From what the same person has told me, it was an overheard conversation between drivers. RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2016 - tyresmoke - 04 Jul 2016 Nothing new on order for the North East as far as I am aware. 1494 is on display in Stockton today for Catch the Bus Week RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2016 - BusLoverMum - 04 Jul 2016 Looks like DCC have provided one of their own minibuses for the Thornley -wheatley Hill shuttle for the 22 today and tomorrow Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2016 - TEN 6083 - 04 Jul 2016 Arriva are having a CTBW event in Northumberland Street tomorrow between 11-5, apologies if it has been posted already somewhere else here's the link https://www.facebook.com/arrivanortheast/posts/10153763316446173 Sent from my iPad Pro using Tapatalk |
