I'd assume that it was all the Arriva NE network, as its £7.

Can't wait for the new timetable from May as I will be able to say it's closer to 10 minutes late [emoji35]

(30 Mar 2015, 2:43 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote Anyone else noticed that you can't access timetables on the Arriva website? Or is it just me?

(30 Mar 2015, 2:46 pm)Jimmi wrote Seems to be working on my mobile.

How exactly are you having a problem?

(30 Mar 2015, 2:47 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote Just says something like ''sorry timetable not available''. Tried it on several services, on both the desktop and phone; to no avail.

2827 remains in service in allover white at present
7486 has only been internally refurbished to feature Estaban Civic V3s, however sister 7485 hasn't been treated. 7487 is set to be done to take 7485's place as one of Redcar's 2 X93 buses with 7485 as the spare.

I don't know why they couldn't have just put on the front and sides "X93 - Along the glorious Yorkshire Coast" taglines on.

What are these fake MAXes going to be used on after the holiday season?

(31 Mar 2015, 11:09 am)Kuyoyo wrote Nope, appears to be the 2009-spec 'Two-tone Blue Square' fabric.

(31 Mar 2015, 11:26 am)Dan wrote Ironic how the Volvo B7s will actually be more comfortable than the Volvo B9s...

(31 Mar 2015, 11:33 am)mb134 wrote I'm pretty sure the B7's already had the fabric Kuyoyo is referring to, so have they just added headrests?

(31 Mar 2015, 11:36 am)Dan wrote Yeah, that's the difference between Civic V2 and Civic V3. Not sure what type of seating is on the Volvo B9s, but it's not particularly comfortable as they didn't completely refurbish them with new seats as they should have done (ideally).
