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.

1595 on the 7s, 16:07 off Darlington 15 mins late, it's about to get hammered as college kids have just come out

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

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
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.

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.

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
Going back to maturity...
Is it there for the same reason as 4514 before it failed and got sent down to Yorkshire Tiger?
