Should have sent some Old Pulsar 1's in my opinion or maybe some spare 09 Pulsar 2's if there was any in the region. With 4705 god knows. But they need a good replacement for that.
Theres such an easy way Arriva can solve the X93/94 Summer crisis from happening again in my opinion. 7511, 7512 and 7523 from Durham to Blyth for 7607, 7608 and 7611 and then swap 7607, 7608 and 7611 for Redcar's 7424, 7425 and 7426. That way Durham has all ALX's in the area (Just like how Redcar have all the Temsas for mechanical reasons) and Redcar gets more Gemini 2's needed for the summer. Also probs swap 2 Pulsars for 2 400MMC's aswell just incase major problems arise. Thats the way I would personally solve it.
To be fair that wouldn't fix anything, it would just push the problem up here instead.
It shouldn't be Blyth's and Durham's job to bail out the mess at Redcar and break more buses.
Any problems should be pushed down to Arriva Yorkshire rather than Arriva Northumbria, they've been doing the maintence (or lack of it) anyway.
