4516 was still in service earlier this month.

What Euro standard are the DAF SB120s? Also is there an 'easy' way to find out the Euro for each vehicle?


RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2019
Seeing as 1922 has been reinstated once again, is it likely one Cadet will be retained after the PVR reduction on the 21st July?

Although seeing as Darlington have service changes coming, is it likely a Pulsar could be released to finally see of the Cadets?

</p><p><br></p><p>The 05 plate MPDs that have been withdrawn have been due to them being surplus and nowhere for them to go. And a spare role to replace full length buses (bar 1759)?...</p>

</p><p><br></p><p>What he means is, yes it may still be running, but its not formally on the allocation sheet for the depot and is likely listed as reserve/withdrawn. Any major&nbsp;repairs will not be sanctioned, so its on borrowed time.</p>
