Solo 2827 is in an all over white livery on service 9/10 in Darlington today. Ready for repaint into Whitby park and ride. Any idea when the transfer and repaint will occur?

Repaint has already happened - white base livery ready for vinyls. Transfer should happen near to Easter which is when the 171 starts.

I'm a big fan of these Darts! Except the minimal leg room! Just something about them, they're so appealing! I'd rather ride one of these than a Solo
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
4001 on 9/27A today in Middlesbrough, it replaced 1491 which has replaced 4037 on 29s

It was 1743! We gave it a steer when it left the Bus Station packed at 1025. Why Dormanstown/Whitby keep foisting this wreck on 93's beggars belief! In the words if Arriva " it's either this or nothing!" It got no better at 1125 when Temsa 4720 crawled, fully loaded, out of town.
