Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - November 2016
I know it is not Arriva NE, but I saw an Arriva London Double Decker on a low loader heading North past the Metro Centre this afternoon, unable to catch fleet number but think it began DLA

(15 Nov 2016, 9:57 pm)Ambassador Calling it a criminal offence is a tad of an overreaction, even the grumpiest of officers would struggle to be bothered to issue a penalty notice. Most likely they'd direct them to get the vehicle a new plate (without a set timescale)
The chances of the pulling service bus over for no front plate however range from not likely to never.

(15 Nov 2016, 10:06 pm)Cobalt271 I would hardly call it an overreaction, it is actually a criminal offence to not have one displayed and believe me, some of the Traffic officers I speak to would not hesitate to pull any service vehicle over and have words with the driver.

(15 Nov 2016, 10:12 pm)Ambassador It's a huge overreaction, the bus simply wouldn't be pulled over. I see dozens of cars each day without front plates, they generally get stopped on suspicion.
A massive green bus with legal fleetnames, a rear plate and full of concessionary passes being pulled over won't happen.
Fairly moot point, plate will be replaced either now or before it re-enters service tomorrow

(15 Nov 2016, 10:20 pm)Cobalt271 I like how you've gone from a 'tad' overreaction in your first statement to a huge one. Well it isn't either! All vehicles in this country have to display a number plate front and back so the driver, and company are (albeit unknowingly) committing a criminal offence under the Road Traffic Act of 1986.
Cbma06 mentioned he saw an MPD in Chester pulled over so believe me, it does happen!

You can see that the number plate was fitted and as fallen off at some point in the journey, any officer with common senses would see this and tell the driver to get it replaced,
Or the driver might find it on the road going back
(15 Nov 2016, 10:05 pm)South Tyne Lad If its a DLA, Its a DAF DB250 bodied ALX400, For example Arriva's 7466 of Blyth depot.

(16 Nov 2016, 7:56 pm)South Tyne Lad Cheers, Any idea which division there for?
(16 Nov 2016, 8:28 pm)trixmas2000 Think they may go back down South to replace older ones (only London uses DD for training)

Does anyone know why 1321 s front lower half has no fleet number or Arriva logo?
(16 Nov 2016, 9:44 pm)Cock Robin Yes. I'm with Ambassador. Would have to be an right ar**hole to press charges against the driver, given that there was plenty of other ways the bus could have been identified if need be.

(17 Nov 2016, 8:45 am)Andreos1 What about front facing speed cameras? I can't remember if there's any on the route, but they're certainly less discerning than a traffic cop.
