Arriva North East
Important update: From Wednesday 2nd April all passengers travelling with mobile phones will be required to turn them to ‘airplane mode’ or completely off to enable our latest traffic light change technology to work correctly on all buses. Thank you for your cooperation.
Georgina Chelsea Sansom Whos ridiculous idea was that?! Who would do that if they are on a short journey? Not to mention that you need a signal to enable your m-ticket?!? #pointless

Doesn't this affect people traveling on the 5 to Easington and 4 to Whithy? It's not as if any diversion takes a few minutes.

Temsa 4702 was also in our yard on Friday afternoon

(02 Apr 2014, 5:44 pm)Davey Bowyer wrote The B7's could displace some of the older DAF ALX 400's on the 35 at Ashington. And with regards to the 57 reg lowlanders, there's only 4 at Ashington leaving 2 short of the X93 PVR requirement.
(02 Apr 2014, 5:45 pm)Dan wrote I think he was meaning how many Lowlanders do Arriva North East have as a whole, I.e. what's the possibility of them ending up on the X93. Only four 57-reg ones, and they would be the likely candidates if any.
(02 Apr 2014, 5:50 pm)Davey Bowyer wrote But on the note of being two short of a mataching fleet PVR, I would happily overlook that knowing that 4 out of 6 are pure reliable and powerful workhorses.
(02 Apr 2014, 5:54 pm)Kuyoyo wrote The only Sapphire route for the North East this year are 5/5a, X3/X3a, 4/X4 and X21/X22.
The SB4000s for the X15 are 55-reg.
(02 Apr 2014, 5:46 pm)Tom wrote Could get a upgrade to Sapphire in the future?
Will the X15/X18 be Sapphire spec or not?
