4507 out on 81/81A today. Thought that was due off as non-DDA?

4512 is also out on the 43 and I thought the same.
1579 on X14.

4512-5 (the examples refurbished at Thorntons back in 2012) are supposedly DDA compliant.

Difference is that 4512 is one which has been internally refurbished, and it was suggested last month that the Volvo B10BLEs that were internally refurbished were also modified to become DDA-compliant at the same time. Looking at photos on Flickr, it does seem that one of the 'tip-up' seats on the offside is missing, similar to the Go North East examples recently modified at Thorntons.
4507 hasn't been internally refurbished, but I can't imagine that Arriva would send a bus out on the road illegally?

Come on Dan this is Redcar we're talking about...
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.

That doesn't really add to what has already been noted, given there's no destination on display.

It's sat in the stand on Stockton High Street (B) that is served by the 15, indicating that it is operating the service.

The Stand also used by the 17a, which is a Cadet-booked service.

Either way, I was trying to provide a photograph of the allocation for you...

How is the clingon corner? Much productivity there?

Probably stood there all day.

Doesn't take a lot of guesswork. He probably spends more time there than at home.

I beg to differ as I bet you caught a bus from home to Stockton.

And that's where you are wrong. I got a lift and was in Stockton for all of 5 minutes this morning. Yes, this afternoon I was there a while but for once, I wasn't there all day.
