Redcar depot
Redcar depot
Anyone know what is going on with 1573 and why it's still at Redcar instead of 1421. Are they re-trialing the Streetlites on the X4 now that the Stockton EX Wright Engineer did work to them or is that still temporarily there. Just doesn't make any sense because both 1573 and 1421 are operational.

They've also kept 7424 aswell.

I don't think it helps that theyve got so many of the same buses at the same age, I think not for ANE as they seem to have a good mix but i think its going to massively affect Deptford were its either Streetlites or Deckers really thats the choice. And all the streetlites are within 2 years of each other so when a issue arises its going to cause catastrophic problems, when one thing happens its just a knock on like the Dest Displays on the Streetlites at Deptford is attriocus the amount og missing pixels/not working at all

(13 May 2024, 10:54 am)Mike_98 Dunno why they always argue with each other. Doesn't really matter which depot a bus is at. Anyways do we know what is tracking as the Redcar Spare today as it doesn't seem to be 1573.
I've seen a few things suggesting 1573 is at Redcar to replace a possible withdrawn 4711. Anyone know if that's possibly true? And if that's the case, why is 1421 still at Stockton? Because at the moment, technically Redcar are down by 1 vehicle. Unless 1573 is currently replacing 1427 which is broke. Unsure on why the Lite is still at Redcar.
