South Bank and Normanby Road probably deserve/need the 15 minute

Aye I meant like send the X2/X3 via the 62 route out of Redcar, when they curtailed the 62 short and made the X2, it always felt like it was one of those routes setup to fail.
I know it's not really the thread but if they ever got the drivers and buses I'd love to see them up the X4 in frequency, whether that's every 20 minutes the full route or every 15 minutes as far as Brotton (would be the same PVR for both). It always seems packed whenever I see it, be nice to see them actually try and grow a route for once, rather than the constant cuts we see recently.

Yeah agreed to be fair, it wasn't a suggestion. Just more surprised they haven't done it tbh especially when they scrapped the Sunday service and evening services completely.

Already back out again on the X4. Seemed to just be a temp problem.

There’s quite a few that like to stop tracking during the day… 4718 and 7580 definitely!

7424 failed on the x94. 1534 replaced it and that was taken off the x3 64 64A

Yep, seemed to have had a problem at Whitby.
Also 4715 was taken off the 63 to replace 1534 on the X2/X3/64 Boards and 4718 was thrown on the 63. To be fair that's good as 1534 is good on hills.
RE: Redcar depot - Mark66t - 16 Apr 2024
Not good again 7424 yet again failed again at whitby and had to replace by 2870 on the x94 to Scarborough

I can only imagine the pain to the passengers on a double deck having to squeeze onto a solo. Surely there must have been a better Single Deck alternative, unless they genuinely don't have anything else.

I'm guessing whitby only had a solo spare in their yard it seem ?

On the 14-34 X4 from Whitby today. Needed a water top-up before leaving so 15 minutes late.
RE: Redcar depot - Mark66t - 20 Apr 2024

Do we know what it is yet. Still tracking on the 3 today

(21 Apr 2024, 2:19 pm)Ryland wrote Do we know what it is yet. Still tracking on the 3 today1429 NK59 DNE started tracking soon as the Spare one stopped so I assume it was that. 1429 was not tracking yesterday but was tracking the day before that on the 19th. The spare was tracking just yesterday and today so I think it is 1429.
RE: Redcar depot - Mark66t - 22 Apr 2024
I'll say this on here since some people think it's a right laugh to spread incorrect information about on fb and other social media 1449 has not transferred back to Stockton its their only for a mot then it will be returning back to Redcar where the vehicle is based
RE: Redcar depot - Mike_98 - 22 Apr 2024
Withdrawn Centro 1535 has starting tracking again on the X4. I would imagine that is the loaner Streetlite…?
Also whats happened to 1427, anyone know?
