MAXimum Impact... Negative impact on my knees!

2851 on the 1/5 Angry

No MAX's out in service until Monday, especially 4655 that won't be out until Monday anyway this was due to a coolant leak that happened in the second performance of the launch 
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
1793 is 4813's replacement on the 21/X21.
Oh dear lord, pity anyone who has to ride that manky old MPD, it will make an EcoCity feel like a Buggati Veyron.

Thought I saw it leaking.

Still on there this evening (X21), any reason why Ashington have this? Surely they can find another double decker to use instead?

7494 was on on Tuesday (when I went to the dentist!).

There was an 11 reg Solo on yesterday as well. I would guess this is due to the loss of 1410 & 1424.

Also I think 4644 is now MAX branded

Ashington have 1500 to cover for a Dart that's away for refurbishment and wifi fitting.

4659 was asked by the depot to be kept on a more local route so the supervisor allocated it to the 35s.

Yup - to cover for a Dart, not a Sapphire-spec vehicle (for the duration of the entire day)!
