Does anyone know if/when 7485 and 1808 will swap back? Or how 7485 is getting on in Yorkshire?

The fleet between Redcar and Whitby is very fluid, but the Park & Ride will usually utilise the two Solos, with two Darts in use on the town services. Obviously the Sapphire & Max services have dedicated branded vehicles.

7485 is reportedly having some issues at Selby and as such is regularly working their School board in York.

The Park & Ride is now 2828 and 7489. The other Solo is usually found on the 94/95 along with a Dart.

For the first time I can recall in over a year of service, the NSA screen in 1598 is operational.

I would do a little dance if it wasn't for the fact that it's badly misaligned and the audio announcements are barely audible.

1102/3/5 in service.

I find there to be very little consistency in any of the NSA volume levels. Not that they're too loud, but more so that a lot of them are turned right down. Not great!

Well its the original Park and Ride livery with the decals taken off! So in summer its largely on Park and Rides and in winter largely on Whitby towns. Saves spending money on repainting it back to Arriva!


RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2016 - NK53 TKT - 07 May 2016

2834 has been repainted into a revised livery possibly for the 55?

7458 and 7466? Not a chance they'll go MAX. Imagine they'll be replaced soon.

Hope 7485-87 replace them once the x93 redcar based runs get newish buses
