Something to do with the fuel pump I believe, so it goes into a sort of limp mode. I ended up doing a full 28 to Nunthorpe with it doing 20mph Max
And you loved every minute of it...

2855 has an internal Hanover led screen fitted. New NSA thing for the Darlington town work?

Its off when it was on the Durham Park and Ride. They had next stop displays only without the voice.

(19 Jun 2015, 4:49 pm)MrPottski Word is, the Milburngate bridge works are meaning ALL 7 workings are transferring to Darlington to allow extra Durham staff to transfer to other routes. Should be fun.
As I believe, Durham are losing 2 boards - one 7 and one X12. Plus the additional tenth X12 vehicle is said to be a Stockton turn as well meaning both depots will operate 5 boards on there (1415 is said to be moving to Stockton for the summer).

It wasn't - fifteen minutes late to Nunthrope when suddenly it came back to normal until Linthorpe Road and then got worse as we turned onto Borough Road (yes, I was on at the time - I wish I hadn't been or it had got thrown off before that trip)

Services 6 and 7 (plus GNE X21) are suffering serious delays due to temporary traffic lights at Sunderland Bridge where they are doing the roadworks.
Wonderful

One sapphire service 7 already running 15 mins late because of this, things are about to get worse before they get better

This is at a quiet time of the day too so lord knows how bad it's going to end up later in the day.
I'm going to have fun getting home especially as it also affects the GNE X21 as well.

Could you not get the X9 to Peterlee, then the 21?
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2015 - Jimmi - 20 Jun 2015
(20 Jun 2015, 8:59 am)Tom Could you not get the X9 to Peterlee, then the 21?Probably not with the time I'm expecting to be back in Newcastle.
Even if I could it's annoyingly the X10 I'd have to get and I am not totally confident with catching the 21 from the A19 slip road stop although if there's time I could always walk to the Moorcock stop.

The X10 serves Peterlee Bus Station on an evening

(20 Jun 2015, 9:04 am)Tom The X10 serves Peterlee Bus Station on an eveningYeah but the last 21 is at around 1845 from Peterlee I think.

What's the crack with the X66 and changing at Darlo or Boro?
Train is extra pennies, but maybe worth looking at.

Train will be more cost.
Hopefully the 7's shouldn't be too bad after 8pm.

(09 Jun 2015, 7:54 pm)Kuyoyo The answer is on the gentleman's following photo - it was given a second refurbishment after an accident. However, I wouldn't be surprised if all ex-London cascades and standard specification refurbishments aren't done to this standard from now on.
It will be interesting to see if the six presently reported to be migrating north (see image attached) are refurbished to this standard?

They should be! The E200s ex London were at the same standard (complete with plug sockets!) so it should be across the fleet now. I know Shires have had some Solos refurbished with e-leather.
I'm not sure if these are for us but it would make sense if they are. Not part of the reported batch for Rossendale so these should be staying within the group

(19 Jun 2015, 3:45 pm)Tommy_1581 I've just compared the Northumbria fleet list and the NEB fleet list, and guess who's is more accurate?
NEB's fleet list.
Having been given a list of updates that had been missed by us, our fleet lists were quite outdated, to be completely fair.
Obviously does not excuse snide comments being made - especially when it's as easy as dropping me a PM or noting something on the forum, to get something updated.
The fleet lists should be spot on now, but give me a shout if you spot something that doesn't look right. The recent repaints at Darlington will be updated with the news tomorrow.

Confirmation today - 1410 has returned to Durham having been rejected by Stockton again due to the amount of faults discovered.
