Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2015
(17 Jan 2015, 3:40 pm)Jimmi I rode 1443 on the X2 yesterday and quite enjoyed the ride and looked smart inside, although will they receive the MAX interior branding like on the Darlington Omnicitys.
The new branding was causing some confusion though some people thinking it was a Go North East bus and tried to get on with key cards.

Is there any particular reason why the driver of the 1445 5A from Darlington decided to miss out the Clarence Chare, Shafto Way, Central Avenue (Tesco) section of the route and drove straight down St. Cuthbert's Way?
I have been stood at Tesco waiting for the 5A on a Sunday before and no bus has turned up so I don't think this has been a one off either.
Ridiculous.
Also is there any reason why the two 21's I saw were operated by unbranded EcoCitys instead of the 21/X21 Whoosh branded examples.
Hope this doesnt happen very often when its launched as MAX:

How the hell can a bus be 75 minutes late on a Sunday, at 20:30?

(18 Jan 2015, 9:26 pm)Kuyoyo When there's been accidents and road closures along the route!
The last Middlesbrough to Scarborough X93 (depart 1620) was stuck on Ormesby Bank along with all 3 5s at 1800 as the bank was that bad the police closed the road until the snowplough got there. As a result, the 1615 5 out of Middlesbrough returned light, the 1715 5 ran late up but was presumably on-time back in while the 1815 5 arrived in Middlesbrough 67 minutes late and went out 25 minutes down but was presumably on-time by Skelton judging by the timings on the live app earlier.

Yes the snow came down in a few heavy showers yesterday, most of the main roads were alright once they had been cleared but the estates were still very treacherous late on during the day. Attached is my Pulsar in Marton' Cypress Road estate which I nearly got stuck trying to get back out of. There was a gritter with snowplough round there trying to sort it out when I went round.
