(25 Mar 2024, 5:33 pm)Storx Aye that's fair must say I couldn't find much on them in either direction.

Agreed though, the ironic thing is the North East is one of the better operations aswell - believe it or not. Arriva Kent and Arriva North West, in particular, are much much worse!

Just sums up how bad they are tbh.

You see it so often when a company is up for sale. The longer it goes, the less the parent company invest in either assets or often more importantly people, and the decline starts to accelerate fast. You would assume new leadership will be the first thing to come. It normally is after a takeover.

Yeah definitely, mind DB Regio pretty much gave up about 5 years ago to be honest. First was much of the same really awhile back and they've seemed to turned the business around a bit. It's not perfect, but it's certainly better than it was, ignoring the mess that's Avanti trains.

Ah, it's a Durham bus? It was spotted in Newcastle on Wednesday, broken down.

Of course! Yeah, that figures!

Strange it was out in Newcastle, but not on a service, presumably testing it and it's obviously still broke...

Hmmm it seems 7556 has lost the AX at the front of the bus but has also lost all Pink vinyls on the side and front of the bus. Is this the work of Arriva now longer being owned by DB. 308s have lost there branding and poppy has gone as well

More likely because these vinyls advertised free WiFi, a feature which has been removed from whole fleet.

Redundant as mobile data is cheap as chips nowadays.

Think you might have the wrong date on this photo, as 7580 was away south by 21/4/24.

21/3/24 perhaps ?
