Do vehicles used on the 14/X14 require a tachograph?
Edit: I only ask because of this, as I didn't think these were fitted with tachographs because they should only be on the X21/22?

No they don't - which is why it is split at Morpeth. The X15, X18 and X93 are the only tachograph routes in our network at the moment, with the X93 becoming split from the end of this month.

No bother. Its just i feel that more info can be found on that particular thread than any other as that is specified specifically on the area in question. Hope it helps!

A few updates from my end...
4512 arrived at Stockton depot yesterday and should replace 4039 (though it was still out today, and parked looking ready to go out tomorrow too!) - 1769/71 have now transferred to Blyth, with 1772 expected to follow shortly (if they can wrestle it out of the hands of Redcar that is... Ended up being thrown on the 63 this afternoon!). 1753 remains in use at Stockton but that too can't have long left

Has it been noted the ex Durham P&R Solos have wifi? I'm pretty sure it will have been, but was surprised when 2859 had it last night.

If it has, I think I've missed the post... Our fleet lists haven't been updated accordingly - but will do this tomorrow.

I've seen no posts saying that they have WiFi.
Did these have WiFi from when they were on the Park and Ride of have they just been fitted recently?
Noticed that EcoCity 4814 now has WiFi too, I imagine 4811/12/13 will also have WiFi now too as 4811 has been on the 21/X21 alot recently.

I just tried to complete the Darlington survey and where there are 5 categories where you had to rank the options from 1 to 5 the numbers I put in kept disappearing.
All I did was put that I live outside of Darlington and my regular service was the 5/5A. Also wrote that the reliability needs to be addressed on the 5/5A as it is often 5 or more minutes late and the reliability of the 7 needs to be addressed on Sunday's.
I did not give my thoughts on any of the suggested changes as they don't affect me.

I don't think they did have wifi on Park & Ride and will have been fitted at refurb. 4811-14 were due to be fitted also, good to hear they've now been completed.

Yeah I'd thought they'd have fitted the WiFi to the ex P&R Solos recently ahead of them going on the 13A/13B.
Was pleased to see WiFi on 4814 the other night on my way back from Peterlee as I can never get a data connection when I ride the 21.

They will go / have gone to Durham as a temporary replacement for the Geminis which have gone for MAX refurb.
