(17 Aug 2017, 7:37 pm)Ianthegoon wrote As there hasn't been an update to the Arriva fleetlist for a little while now, can anyone say if 1773 is still in service and, if so, which services it tends to be allocated to?
Thanks!
1773 is still in service and is typically allocated to the 1 route between Blyth, Ashington and Widdrington. Be quick though as all of Blyth's darts are supposed to be replaced by Durham Solos in September.

I'll need to be quick anyway, as I shall be back in the deep, dark, diabolical South by September!
Many thanks for the info.

Looks like one of Darlington Optare solos have been involved in a minor collision according to the northern echo website

Alot of accidents involving buses lately, I hope those involved are ok - I do hope which ever Solo it is it can be repaired. Hopefully it isn't 2841 or 2859 as they're good solos.

It was one of the Spare Frequenta ones so either 2843/49/50/51, it shouldn't be out too long just a few scrapes

1773 is indeed still in service, but was lurking on the 58 today - fortunately I started my search in Cramlington!

If an Arriva driver farted the Northern Echo would report it...

Was told last night by a driver that a StreetDeck is to arrive at Ashington depot today for the X15, but there's nothing on the computers about it, nor does anyone else at the depot who I've spoke to. Anyone know if it's true? Just seems a bit random to come out with if it's fake.

Can't find any other results for it on Flickr, so I assume Arriva are the first to have this one?

The other demonstration vehicle has turned up at Darlington in the form of Wright Streetlite SK17HHL. It is to be used on services 1, 5, 12 and 19 in preparation for potential new vehicles next year.

Have they not already got enough experience of Streetlites?

Obviously not but there absolutely shocking, haven't they learnt that the X1 ones are always off the road, more to the point where are the pulsars going off there? Possibly MAX for X26/27/66/67/75/76
