(13 Dec 2014, 2:53 pm)Jimmi wrote The A66/H66 usually drop off the passengers at Teesside Park then run light to Middlesbrough Bus Station to pick up another service.

Another will be running around Teesside Park at around the same time to pick up passengers heading to Stockton and beyond which will probably have run dead from Middlesbrough.

This is incredibly annoying for passengers as those who aren't aware of this usually starting shouting stuff like "why is he out of service" "why has he gone down to the cinema, he didn't on the way here" "why is there another bus going down now" until you end up having to explain the interworking to passengers who don't have a clue what the hell you are talking about.

When I have been on before they have asked if people wanted to be off at the cinema and if no-one replies they just U-turn at the roundabout by Morrisons, which really they probably shouldn't be doing.

D'oh! Of course, what was I thinking! Passed the other one going out as well!

Why Couldn't they just leave the 66 as it was cause its not as good anymore

Has the A66 come off yet?

Yeah it'll have finished on Saturday I guess.
Working out their new diagrams is an interesting task!

An unexpected addition to the Compass Royston fleet is ex-Chiltern Travel Marcopolo Viagggio 320 FM56UNU.

Compass Royston FM56UNU by kuyoyo, on Flickr

A rare working on the last 4 84s this afternoon was ex-Lothian SPD Y191CFS, replacing the originally intended SN51UCR after that broke down earlier in the day.

Over the last few weeks, I have noticed the Compass Royston ex Tyne Valley Coaches, coach - seems to do a run in the Durham area, before scooting down the A1, A689 and A19.

Seen it a few times between 1630 and 1715 in the same places.

Possibly.
It is one of the old luxury team coaches, so would have loved that back in the day.

An unidentified dart was operating the 16:15 159 service yesterday on behalf of dales and district in a white livery and only the "super low floor easy access buses" sticker above the door. Very strange considering all of D&D's MPD's have transferred to Leven Valley...

SN06BRV - which has now returned to Dales & District from Esk Valley via Leven Valley.

Wonder if there's any new services being registered in light of those cancellations.

When is this happening and will Leven Valley lose any Buses cause of it

(23 Feb 2015, 7:10 pm)jaimzm wrote When is this happening and will Leven Valley lose any Buses cause of it

There's nothing changing the daytime PVR, only the loss of evening/Sunday operations meaning they will effectively have a 6-6 operation, Monday to Saturday only. The registrations posted recently will give you the date when it comes into effect, 12th April.

I've gone through and updated the Leven Valley fleetlist too.
