For the past 3 days 63 branded pulsars have been allocated onto the 62 ? Seems to be at least 2 on there each day</p><p><br></p><p>Any reason why&nbsp;</p>

Apparently its because its more expensive to replace smashed windows on Temsas so they're using Pulsars on the boards that stay out all night.

Is man alx 300 no 22063/64 and enviro 300 no 24112 left in the Stockton fleet are still going then.

1568 - X93, replaced 7404.
4516 - X3, replaced 1568.
4710/4720 - X4.
7425 - 62.

Someone has nailed it in the head. Replacement bus sent to another route and someone asked why don't they do it on the 6. Someone has replied saying its because its a nexus route and they will be fined. Spot on.

Just been told Monday will see a decker transfer to Selby from Durham no idea which one

<p>Just been reading the GNE thread re scholars services and noticed a lot of discussion regarding scholars buses back in the day when we were at school.
