Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2014
(30 Aug 2014, 10:03 pm)tyresmoke Might be worth mentioning that our new 85/685 timetable is also introduced tomorrow, with service 185 Carlisle-Haltwhistle being Arrriva operated from Monday also!
(31 Aug 2014, 6:46 am)citaro5284 They are only operating 3 journeys.
Just noticed an X2 starts at Birtley for Durham at 07.35 does anyone know if this is a new service as I don't recall seeing it before and does it run off another Arriva service.

Why has 7619 lost its branding for services X1/X2?

An Arriva Solo was heading West along the A69 around 10.20, with "Private Charter" on it's destination screen. From what I could see (bearing in mind I was in a car going in the opposite direction so I could be totally wrong) was a couple of people standing near the door in blue Arriva polo shirts. Any idea what this was for?

Probably worth mentioning that Geminis 7616 and 7625 have returned to Blyth depot following refurbishment to Max specification. The additional vehicles they have will remain until Tuesday after the launch event in Newcastle, at which point a few will likely be withdrawn, or transferred elsewhere. 7511 should depart for Blackburn to be refurbished to Max for service X15, where it will join 7512/3 and 4653/9 undergoing the same process.

Starting on 1st September some journeys on Telford's Coaches route 185 between Haltwhistle Gilsland Brampton and Carlisle are operated instead by Arriva, and retimed by a few minutes. All journeys on this route call at the Market Place in Haltwhistle, and between Brampton and Carlisle buses run via Warwick Bridge instead of Crosby on Eden.
