Yep, seemed to have had a problem at Whitby.
Also 4715 was taken off the 63 to replace 1534 on the X2/X3/64 Boards and 4718 was thrown on the 63. To be fair that's good as 1534 is good on hills.

I can only imagine the pain to the passengers on a double deck having to squeeze onto a solo. Surely there must have been a better Single Deck alternative, unless they genuinely don't have anything else.

I'm guessing whitby only had a solo spare in their yard it seem ?

Still tracking on the 3 today1429 NK59 DNE started tracking soon as the Spare one stopped so I assume it was that. 1429 was not tracking yesterday but was tracking the day before that on the 19th. The spare was tracking just yesterday and today so I think it is 1429.

Is that even Euro 6? As it's currently heading to Newcastle now tracking as 7506.
I was just about to ask what it was as there's nothing at Blyth in Cotswold with an interurban skirt. Just seen it now waiting for the 57.

Don't believe it's Euro 6. At the time they received it today it probably would have been decided to just take the fine and get it into service ASAP, rather than wait for a Euro 6 example to arrive into Blyth on the 1 to swap over.

Yeah that's my thoughts aswell, mind surprised they haven't made an effort to get it off during the day tbf.
Seems a bit silly to have a Euro 4/5 bus at Blyth aswell considering there's 2 boards in the whole depot it can realistically be allocated to.

Darlington are still currently awaiting 3 of the E300s to enter service and also 1515 is currently on a loan to Durham,

Surely if redcar were having to loan 1557 it's wrong to take 1421 from redcar.
1557 is now retracking at stockon
1535 is retracking do we know which bus it is
Saw a Centro out there on the X4 earlier. Didn't catch the id though.
Edit: It wasn't 1534 if the timings on bustimes are accurate.
It would have been the board after that.

1421 is erou 4
All of the Pulsars are minimum Euro 5. Still not CAZ compliant, but Blyth were eight vehicles short for service this morning, it's probably a case of anything will do.
