(22 Jan 2017, 6:37 pm)BusLoverMum The one Hodgsons had out was spotless in comparison. I know yesterday was a particularly filthy day, but given that the solo on the 84a was black by noon, they must have set out mucky, in the first place.They must want to wait till Saturday evening when it goes back to the depot at West conforth to wash it.

(23 Jan 2017, 4:55 pm)BUSFAN Weardale run the some the most rural routes in the North East but all their vehicles are always spotless when they start a days work but lets face it they are a different class of operator compared to Scarlet Band who went from running high spec Coaches and good Service Vehicles to running average older vehicles.

(24 Jan 2017, 12:45 pm)Jimmi YJ55YGL was apparently on the 110/111/112 circuit on Friday.I have been told that the driver has complained about it overheating. As it sometimes takes the driver 4 attempts to start it after the driver turns it back on after lunch break. But if it's overheating why put it in service. Unless they are waiting until Sunday where no services operate so they can have a look at it. It's been of a lot recently.
Wonder if there may be a issue with a increased likelihood of it breaking down? If so, I would imagine they may be wanting to keep it fairly local, so it's less distance to travel for if something does go wrong.

It's been of a lot recently.May be a case of they have been hoping to avoid using it but have had no choice but to allocate it to a service. If it has overheating issues, it's probably better to allocate it to one of the routes closer to home rather than risk it breaking down on the 16 somewhere in Darlington.

Also they are short at the moment due to w7jpt being involved in a crash and one of the 64 plate solos getting a new engine.
