When they get time, I'm sure they will do them. Personally I don't see the point in doing it unless they are going to get a full repaint and interior rework to the new Journey Mark. It could also be a hint they may be getting transferred in the future but I would doubt it.

Apparently 1438 was meant to return a week or 2 ago but still not seen as of yet. Also 4711 has yet to return since January. Redcar are slowly recovering still but there is still missing services happening.

There’s several buses not tracking properly… 4713, 4719 at least in recent days!
1438 was at DTbus in Brandon and seen around the Durham area today, possibly heading home?

It will be good to see it back. Also I got to say 1436 since return looks great. I know it also had some work done but it almost looks brand new. Good to see Redcars fleet getting up to quality standards once again.

Well I imagine if a lot of people that were travelling to Whitby and Scarborough from Middlesbrough today won't be happy. 3 Single Deckers serving the X93 today including one Temsa 4723 and another 2 single decks serving the X94. Shocking for a weekend. Does anyone know what problems Redcars B9's suffer because they seem to be out in service for around 4 days then sit out for like 3 days?

And with added train strikes too today doesn't help matters

Two deckers covering on P&R today, as both the Gemini's are currently off the road for inspection defects overnight, which is not something that can be foreseen.

1 of the double deckers is still in Ashington and two of the B9s are still off for long term reasons.

They are doing everything they can with the vehicles they have available.

Yeh true. However, I would personally cut off some 63's and put the drivers in single deckers in tandem with another to have 2 single deckers on the same trip so that they have double decker capacity.

Also which decker is at Ashington?

Disagree with that mind, the 63 is one of Arriva's flagship routes, having a 30 minute service is complete unacceptable to bail out the X93 (again).

Should scrap the 64A  and just let the 64  do both routes  as I see the 64A pointless

To be honest I'm surprised the 62 still exists personally since it got curtailed at Redcar, the X2/X3 seem to be really struggling, could easily send them via the 62 route out of Redcar and along Trunk Road, Grangetown being omitted.

South Bank and Normanby Road probably deserve/need the 15 minute service.

62 seves the other side of Dormanstown its the only bus that side gets  as its a bit of a Waik for the older residents who struggle Waik long distances

Aye I meant like send the X2/X3 via the 62 route out of Redcar, when they curtailed the 62 short and made the X2, it always felt like it was one of those routes setup to fail.

I know it's not really the thread but if they ever got the drivers and buses I'd love to see them up the X4 in frequency, whether that's every 20 minutes the full route or every 15 minutes as far as Brotton (would be the same PVR for both). It always seems packed whenever I see it, be nice to see them actually try and grow a route for once, rather than the constant cuts we see recently.

I wouldn't want anything else added to X2/3. They are meant to be express.

Yeah agreed to be fair, it wasn't a suggestion. Just more surprised they haven't done it tbh especially when they scrapped the Sunday service and evening services completely.

I can comform 1438 is back at Redcar depot

7424 Seems to be back and tracking on the 62. I know the ALX’s are actually still sat in Redcar Depot. Surprised they haven’t gone yet.

There’s quite a few that like to stop tracking during the day… 4718 and 7580 definitely!
