RE: Redcar depot - Mike_98 - 19 Feb 2024
I don't know why people are even arguing or what they are even arguing about. I don't think into regards of what Redcar allocate to what, wasn't people 'moaning' but were more of people making suggestions on what they would personally do.
In regards to the claim 'Redcar are losing 4 Pulsars' because they are getting 4 deckers. That no way is going to be true. Why would they pull recently transferred single decked vehicles to Redcar out of Redcar for 4 double deckers. They need the Pulsars for other services like the X3/X4/62/63/64 etc...
From what most people have said, Redcar will get 4 E400 MMC's to replace the ALX 400's but the E300's have to go in service at Darlington before a huge cascade plan takes place. That is what has been said by many people.
Pulling any vehicle out of Redcar or even Stockton for that matter (unless its going for scrap) would be a bad move.

I can tell u now Redcar aren't losing any pulsars so that's incorrect

Redcars Spare Ticket Machine seems to be tracking today. Anyone know what it is? I would imagine it’s still one of Redcars vehicles tho…
Just an update. It is tracking in place of 4703 YJ59 BHU as that stopped tracking and the spare started immediately after, so I would assume it is that.

7425, 7609 and 7610 are all at Redcar at the moment still. Along with 7401 and 7404. In terms of 7424 and 7426 I’m guessing the MMC plan is actually going into effect come next month. I know people said it was signed off and management knew about it but I guess this confirms it will be happening and that 7425 will be 99% likely to be withdrawn once the new deckers arrive. Shame to see the ALX’s go as they could have been used on other less stressful routes but ahh well. When summer timetable does come, at the moment Redcar are still short on 1 active decker. They need 5 for the X93, 3 for the X94 and 2 for the P & R but I would imagine they would get 7610 sorted in time for that. Hopefully it will be a summer with no decker breakdowns.

Yep, along with 7424 & 7426 has the same. They'll have salvaged some crucial parts from them and now will be waiting for a scrap company to pick them up. They are all definitely withdrawn from service though. I'm sure of that.

Be interesting to see what other buses arrive at Redcar for the summer.
Will the enviro 400s be getting a branding for the x93 or just in standard arriva livery

Probably will stay standard Journey Mark unfortunately. Would be nice to see something unique for them like the ALX's had

1418 passed me on the A66 yesterday afternoon with an engineer driving it. Dropped onto an X2 later on I gather.

RE: Redcar depot - Mike_98 - 21 Mar 2024
Good to see the first E400 MMC out and about on the X93. The other 3 will hopefully also be a great addition. But the way it looks atm with 4 out of 6 B9's out of action, there will still be Single Decks out on the X93 and X94 for a little while during the summer. But the E400 MMC transfer is a step in the right direction for the Redcar / Whitby Depot's
RE: Redcar depot - Mike_98 - 22 Mar 2024
Seen 4716 get into Guisborough this morning on the 81 then had Caution ! vehicle breakdown on the display a little while after I seen it again sat at the Market Place Bus Stop.
Also seen a rammed full 7406 on the first X93 heading out of Guisbrough to Whitby. A fair few standing on the lower deck.

1485 is tracking at Redcar on the 63
RE: Redcar depot - Mike_98 - 26 Mar 2024
Again, Redcar Depot is a mess right now. 2 Deckers on the 62. A Temsa on the X93. One MMC (7579) has stopped tracking on the X93. That could be a technical problem tho. And all X94's are Single Deckers. It's a really good job it ain't actual summer yet, where alot of people will be wanting to go to Whitby & Scarborough
RE: Redcar depot - Ryland - 27 Mar 2024
Redcar having issues today or technical issue. Lots of buses coming off routes being swapped then stopped tracking
1436 is tracking for the first time since December and pressed into x94 route

If the tracking is correct and 1436 is back on the road, it's with a new engine. So it should be able to handle hills just fine. Good to see things are getting fixed though Also 1438 should be returning to service soon.

It's officially 'on loan' - until 7574 is repaired.
