Noticed 7509 was on the 57/57A yesterday according to tracking, unsure who was running it or whether it was correct though.
(17 May 2024, 11:46 am)Mike_98 wrote I've seen a few things suggesting 1573 is at Redcar to replace a possible withdrawn 4711.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.
There's a knackered Temsa at Stockton, is that 4711?
(06 Jun 2024, 7:32 pm)Storx wrote Aye that's fair then, guessing 4711 is being used as a Christmas tree to keep the others going?

Also I see 2863 has been at Redcar serving their routes for few days. I'm guessing that's filling in for missing vehicles.
I'm guessing these 3 are in need of major repairs
1423 for over a week
1427 for 3 months
1446 Been out for over a month

(14 Jun 2024, 10:32 am)Mike_98 wrote Yeh, that's right. Forgot on why that was out for that length of time.
Good to see 5 out of the 6 B9's out on the road today. We'll see how long that lasts though. Shame 7401 is still sat needing repaired.

(16 Jun 2024, 5:07 pm)RobinHood wrote It isn't permanent. 1429 is covering for 4711 on the official allocation. That is the more likely permanent replacement.
1404 will go back to Stockton, most likely in September.

(16 Jun 2024, 5:18 pm)Mike_98 wrote 1404 is the permanent transfer to replace 4711. 1429 was a part of the Streetlite swap in December. Unless 1404 is swapped for another Stockton pulsar which maybe likely as it’s a Max Spec it will be staying at Redcar. Then again who knows they switch things around all the time.
(16 Jun 2024, 7:53 pm)IRobinHood wrote Redcar have too many vehicles on paper. They need to shed some fleet to get back to the correct spare level.If that's the case 1404 should return to Ashington as Stockton lost it due to the mc5 be handed over. To Redcar which works on to the last x94 board
As I said, officially on paper and according to the company issued allocation,1429 is not permanently in Redcar fleet and is actually providing cover only.

(16 Jun 2024, 9:50 pm)Storx wrote I don't like Solo's and think they're a pile of junk but realistically they'd be better sending up 2857. Might aswell get every Solo in the fleet bar the 3 at Whitby to Ashington (again) they might actually be able to do a days service.I'm not a fan on them myself as for one at the back I always end up forgetting to duck as I'm.prity tall ??
There's no use for it at Redcar.
