Rear of the vehicle apparently a mess

(23 Mar 2025, 11:40 pm)Mark66t wrote It will return to service its not serious damage

(24 Mar 2025, 12:30 am)busesofthenortheast wrote No one knows how much damage it caused so how would we know it we know if it’s coming back or getting withdrawn, technically your just thinking too far ahead

(24 Mar 2025, 6:52 am)Mark66t wrote Ya wrong because I have  and I know a driver there' also and its not bad no need for a replacement   your the one thinking ahead as per usual   and Jump to conclusions that's not true

It will be getting fixed as there back if it isn't badly damaged   u don't like the fact  there isn't gonna be an replacement  .

(24 Mar 2025, 3:11 pm)busesofthenortheast wrote Sorry to be rude but have you seen any photos of the rear of 1450 when it suffered a ‘thermal incident’ or not?

(24 Mar 2025, 9:39 pm)Teessider2014 wrote Yes

(25 Mar 2025, 3:22 am)busesofthenortheast wrote Are you able to send me the photos if that’s possible please

(25 Mar 2025, 8:20 pm)Superman wrote 1450 has been written off. Uneconomical to repair.

1409 will transfer from Darlington to replace it.

(26 Mar 2025, 10:10 am)Kuyoyo wrote That was the original plan - now it's required to replace 1450 at Stockton.

(26 Mar 2025, 7:24 pm)Ryland wrote So what would come to Redcar in it's place? 
I'm guessing 1534 is staying at stockton till it moves over.

Redcar have a number of pulsars still off the road. 

1446 has ventured again to the x4. Last time I was on this it didn't sound great at all.

(26 Mar 2025, 8:34 pm)Andreos1 wrote They've also had a decker out on the 62.

(26 Mar 2025, 11:26 pm)Mike_98 wrote Surprised Darlo are not sending 1406, 1417 or 1431. Kind of a random decision for 1409 to be sent. Then again, 1409 has a good record of time in service.

What's replacing  4700 12 20 22 26 then summer services kicks in next month

(28 Mar 2025, 3:17 am)busesofthenortheast wrote Pulsars from NW obviously, also 1534 will go back when it’s ready unless plans changes nobody knows yet

(28 Mar 2025, 8:56 am)PH - BQA wrote If nobody knows yet, how do you know that it will go back ‘when it’s ready unless plans change’? Are you an oracle? 

If it’s obvious, have you got confirmation of these mysterious Pulsars from the NW for the summer increase? They’ve already got the MMCs back, and retained all other deckers over the winter, so they are covered for the summer increase on paper.

(28 Mar 2025, 9:50 am)Storx wrote Surely it must be up at the top of the list for withdrawal rather than going elsewhere, with:

Durham's 1x B7TL
Darlington's 1x E300
Ashington's 1x Solo
Redcar's 4x Solo

I assume there's already vehicles in the fleet to replace all these but they're VOR currently. Crazy the number of random single buses limping on right now.

(28 Mar 2025, 2:42 pm)busesofthenortheast wrote Well if you think about it Stockton got 1534 due to the fuel (diesel) issues with the buses & Stockton still has it atm so it will go back when Stockton has sorted their issues out unless plans changes that’s why I’m saying no one knows when it will go back
