Guess D'ton short of Scanias ? I believe 2 more ex 21A Scanias are still in refurbishment for the X75/X76 though one of them has entered service confirmed on NEB. RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - January 2016 - Cock Robin - 23 Jan 2016 (22 Jan 2016, 4:06 pm)tyresmoke When buses come into fleet into depot - they take the MOT dates of whichever bus they're replacing. This can sometimes see new vehicles being MOT'd a month or so after they've arrived. That's silly! RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - January 2016 - scania driver - 23 Jan 2016 (23 Jan 2016, 11:55 am)Cock Robin That's silly! You'd have thought that the MOT history and dates appertaining to a vehicle would stay with it for its lifespan. I may be wrong? RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - January 2016 - omnicity4659 - 23 Jan 2016 (23 Jan 2016, 11:55 am)Cock Robin That's silly! What's silly about it? Explain? PSV, MOTs whatever you call it cost money. Why test two buses when one will be withdrawn anyway? It's probably easier for the people who do the tests, that they don't have their schedules clogged up... There seems to be quite a few remarks coming from you recently, Cock Robin, like you're trying to be clever. I thought the forum got over the snide remarks...obviously not. Probably how we don't see many bus staff on these forums.

Yeah I do believe we're very short on scanias at the minute, by all accounts when I was talking to a driver the other day 4654 is looking very sorry for it's self in the garage 4647 is in pieces 4658 is away for refurbishment And then if anything breaks down then there isn't really a replacement, as the spare are 4643/4/50 so if there's more than three off the road it's going to throw up rare workings RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - January 2016 - Stuartphin1639 - 23 Jan 2016 Interurban liveried pulsar on the X66/X67 does anyone know which one it is?

Explain? You're the one who's trying to be clever. And not just with me either. You're talking out your a*se. Why test a bus if its only been tested a month before just cos that's the date the bus that's withdrawn was due for test? So if you then transfer it to another depot do you change the date and do it early again. Waste of money when there's other things they could be spending it on.
