Even if it's a non-MAX branded bus that turns up, it puts Arriva at risk of having to pay out in journey vouchers to each complainant. All because they've got this daft "money back" guarantee, rather than reviewing each complaint on it's own merits.

It is odd. 1517 is also on the 22, which means that none of the streetlites are out.

1917 on 15, 1409 on 5/5a (replaced 1555),

4814, 1466, 4810, 4811 all make up the 21/X21 today, only one branded one on there

4811 is usually one of the four buses allocated to the 21/X21 on Monday - Saturday's anyway. Not surprising though that 4814 is the only branded example out, the other two are pretty poor reliability wise or so it would seem.

1512 has just replaced 1405 on X66/X66.

And 1405 is now on X12

1105, 4515 and 7489 all noted on 22/64/64A today.

Not sure if already mentioned but 4725 also now on the road (22/64/64A again today).

1914 now on 15 replacing 1491

2842 for the 55.

Thanks again.

1409 was eventually replaced on Sapphire 5/5A with MAX X12 branded 1441!



1512 replaced 1405 on X66/X67. 1405 later replaced 1441 on the X12.
1454 replaced 1443 on X12 late in the day also.

As stated, 1512 on the X66.



And the two Cadet on the 15 - unless I'm very much mistaken, its appearance on the 15 might be the first time 1914 has been in service since it was DDA modified

1409 was my bad. 1555 was took off due to a pair of dogs being sick on my bus....  Lovely!

used to see at least one "captains tale" pulsars on service 24 on sundays, since service 24 and 6 are sapphire pulsars, then am regularly seeing sapphire 6 pulsar bus doing service 24.

does anyone know why 7481 is on the x15 i got it on 7.00 am x15 to berwick and it was the most back breaking ride to berwick ever would rather had a lowlander

1508? On 2.

(22 Dec 2015, 4:22 pm)Jimmi wrote 1508? On 2.

Yeah that's the one, just to clear it up

1515 is on the X75/76.
4654 or 4658 (think it was the latter) was on the 8/8a.
Frequenta 4 on the 3/3a/3b
9993 was parked up outside Darlington town council building.

I'd imagine vehicle shortages, unless that is the one that goes onto the X20 when it arrives back in Alnwick?

7489 on 64s again.

That is the X15 that runs onto the X20.
