The minute the 81 PVR went down they took 4501 off Redcar, but Stockton still have several vehicles on the road which should have gone into Reserve/Disposal. No wonder they always seem to have a line of spare buses in the depot whereas Redcar rarely have any.

(12 Sep 2015, 6:20 pm)Mark Stockton are sending a number of their Cadets to Thorntons for DDA modifications. So far only 1920 has gone there due to Thorntons being kept busy with other work. Some of the Cadets due to be withdrawn are remaining in fleet as temporary cover until the others return and are ready for service again.
1905 was withdrawn last week. 1910 & 1911 are the most recent to be listed for disposal, but 1468 has arrived at Stockton and is not ready for service yet, while 1467 is still in service at Durham.

Oh dear, we have a Pulsar on the Bishop Auckland College 5A, just left Aycliffe Town Centre with few seats left!
And yes this does mean that I've wasted my time going out for that, this morning!

(14 Sep 2015, 8:12 am)tyresmoke Hopefully loadings will have levelled out a bit now on all of our college services?
(14 Sep 2015, 8:25 am)Stuartphin1639 Oh dear oh dear, should have been decker allocated until at least October at the earliest, as many people who pass the driving test will take there friends to college using the car in theory, I think I am on the 5A that goes to the college tonight so will see what it's like tonight

4715 on a Redcar X93, with 7485 on 64 etc.
4718 was broken down in M'bro bus station but van turned up from Redcar and got it going.
(14 Sep 2015, 9:42 am)Jimmi I'm not sure how much the numbers are expected to go down but I don't think they'd be that much. There is the hope people will make friends with students who will drive to college and offer to take them instead of using the bus. Also there is the hope that students who are a waste of space on their courses who don't turn up to lessons for example will be booted off their courses so will no longer be attending college. i'm intrigued to see the difference in the morning and afternoon loadings on the Bishop Auckland College runs.
