Yep, seemed to have had a problem at Whitby. 

Also 4715 was taken off the 63 to replace 1534 on the X2/X3/64 Boards and 4718 was thrown on the 63. To be fair that's good as 1534 is good on hills.

I can only imagine the pain to the passengers on a double deck having to squeeze onto a solo. Surely there must have been a better Single Deck alternative, unless they genuinely don't have anything else.

I'm guessing whitby only had a solo spare in their yard it seem ?

1429 NK59 DNE started tracking soon as the Spare one stopped so I assume it was that. 1429 was not tracking yesterday but was tracking the day before that on the 19th. The spare was tracking just yesterday and today so I think it is 1429.
RE: Redcar depot
I'll say this on here since some people think it's a  right laugh to spread incorrect information about on fb and other  social media  1449 has not transferred back to Stockton  its their only for  a mot then it will be returning back to Redcar where the vehicle is based
RE: Redcar depot
Mike_98Withdrawn Centro 1535 has starting tracking again on the X4. I would imagine that is the loaner Streetlite…?

Also whats happened to 1427, anyone know?

1557 is 1535
RE: Redcar depot
I'm surprised that 1421 was aloud to go up to Northumbria from Redcar on loan, even though Redcar are in a shortage too. I'm guessing Darlington, Durham and Stockton are also in more of a shortage than Redcar...

Is that even Euro 6? As it's currently heading to Newcastle now tracking as 7506. 

I was just about to ask what it was as there's nothing at Blyth in Cotswold with an interurban skirt. Just seen it now waiting for the 57.

Don't believe it's Euro 6. At the time they received it today it probably would have been decided to just take the fine and get it into service ASAP, rather than wait for a Euro 6 example to arrive into Blyth on the 1 to swap over.

Yeah that's my thoughts aswell, mind surprised they haven't made an effort to get it off during the day tbf.

Seems a bit silly to have a Euro 4/5 bus at Blyth aswell considering there's 2 boards in the whole depot it can realistically be allocated to.

Darlington are still currently awaiting 3 of the E300s to enter service and also 1515 is currently on a loan to Durham,

In fairness once it's been to town once there's literally no point in taking it off, they've already got the fine.
RE: Redcar depot
I thought it was an old photo.

Surely if redcar were having to loan 1557 it's wrong to take 1421 from redcar.

1557 is now retracking at stockon

1535 is retracking do we know which bus it is

Is it just once a day and not every time you enter the zone? I genuinely don't know.

Saw a Centro out there on the X4 earlier. Didn't catch the id though.

Edit: It wasn't 1534 if the timings on bustimes are accurate.
It would have been the board after that.

All of the Pulsars are minimum Euro 5. Still not CAZ compliant, but Blyth were eight vehicles short for service this morning, it's probably a case of anything will do.

 Actually it was 1557 Stockton Streetlite on the x4 under 1535
RE: Redcar depot
So, has 4711 actually been withdrawn? I know people were quick to mark it down as withdrawn on bustimes but there has been no permanent replacement for it so I'm kind of confused because they wouldn't withdraw it if they have no replacement...
