Same with the transferred Pulsars from Stockton. Again the Temsas and the Centro still keeping the fleet operational. I wonder what has happened to 2857.
7609 replaced by 1573 for the last few laps of the Park & Ride tonight. Knew it was too good to be true for those two to last a few days together!

This isn't a great sign for the summer season. Surely arriva need to look at buses here and make a decision whether to invest in new fleet or bring in some long term loans in from somewhere

Stockton are looking after Redcar’s engineering now of course but both depots are suffering engine failures quite often now as the fleet is all getting to the same age.
Trying to source engines for the Temsas is becoming all but impossible apparently, 4711 needs one… and 4720 is currently at Durham presumably for engine work to extend its life?
1427 is still waiting for an engine at Redcar, as is 1415 at Stockton

If we're honest Arriva would be absolutely screwed if it wasn't for the Pulsar, which at this point has to be up there as one of the best decisions they've ever made and also one of the best single decks ever produced.
