Can Deckers be allocated to the peak 64 journey that goes to High Pittington?

Can't think of any bridges with height restrictions on the route, so don't see why not.
Sure deckers were allocated to certain runs on the 64 at one point not too long ago.

New at Belmont is YJ09 CVD as 1331, it was operating Scholars this evening.

You managed to catch it on North Road while on the 64 in your 43 route visual video, 1 minute 25 seconds in

1766 has had it's full rear ad removed and it looks like it has just returned from war.
Should have kept it on for longer. It is nothing short of a cheap home job. It is completely ruined.

Was that the Whitby ad or had it been changed since then?

Here is my photo of what 1766 now looks like at the rear

Please look and tell me how awful 1766 looks now.

That's dreadful.

If anyone is interested, I have produced an artwork impression of the potential new livery for services 22, 23 and 24, should they be combined when the refurbished Pulsars enter service next week!

Your thoughts would be appreciated!

You reckon they'll enter service next week?!
I would give more priority to the route branding. Can hardly see it compared to the email address.

I didn't notice it haha, I thought it was just 1329 or 1330 when I passed.

It was the whitby ad.

Since it was reported in the Rare Working thread, the first of the 'MAX' swaps has taken place

7553 is now at Ashington
That has displaced 7415 to Jesmond
Which has released 1482 to Durham

Understand that from Monday, one of Durham's X12s is booked for a B7TL - although that's likely to be 7620 unless its swap takes place this weekend...…..

The only place 7620 can go is Blyth tbh, it could release 7469 to Belmont to join 7474 and 7478.

7474 & 7478 are at Belmont to cover for buses off for Sapphire referbs. Believe the plan is for 7620 to go to Blyth in exchange for 7456.

7620 is going back to Blyth, in exchange for 7456 to re-unite the Lowlanders at Durham.

That makes more sense.

Which Buses are away for refurbishment?

Believe it’s 1506 & 1507 away in Blackburn for refurb into the Sapphire brand.

There's often one timi g with fram school kicking out, though that may be coincidence as there is rarely a full complement of branded E200s

After 4663 returning from exile for parts 1906 has made its way back "home" (Stockton) to provide a new gearbox for 1916.

Should be, not sure how long that'll take.

How many of the Pulsars need to be done for the 22/23/24?

1481 has joined 1482 at Durham - both are on X12s today

Could Arriva not have a dedicated fleet of school buses for school contracts? Because lately it has been any spare bus or taking a bus off another service. And that spare bus tends to be branded for other services.

Going off those comments, the bad guy from Sponge Bob has something to do with it!

Why do Jesmonds e400 have poor reliability but Ashingtons e400s have excellent reliability

I have seen 1 Ashington e400 breakdown. I have seen 4 either breaknown or struggle to reverse from Jesmond

Why do Jesmonds max 306s have a speed restrictions but therest of Jesmonds and blyths maxs don't

Jesmond's were killed on express routes, including a good couple of years on the Alnwick/Berwick routes before they got transferred to Jesmond last year. Ashingtons, bar 7511-3, are younger and so likely a bit more reliable.

It could also just have been coincidence that you happened to see more Jesmond break downs!

I have just had a thought why don't blyth swap their solos for something else as they are rubish and always breakdown hence why there has been loads of deckers on the 2 recently.

Swap with what

Blyth should get a minibus investment for services 1 and 2.

Swap with what

Optare solo SRs from Yorkshire

Optare solo SRs from Yorkshire

Maybe Yorkshire don't want to part with them?

They're 'Rubbish & always breakdown'.

Yeah, im sure someone would love to swap.

Maybe Blyth should fix them, so they aren't Rubbish and don't always breakdown first?
