RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - December 2018 - jimmoc - 18 Dec 2018 is the fleet list up to date still or dose it need updating ???

Still needs updating - still haven't had the time, although I am updating dribs and drabs of the GNE one at the moment. Once this is up to date I'll move onto ANE/SNE.

There are so many things that needs updating -1329-31, 2602/3, 7553-6 and 7628-37 aren't listed. -1419/80-82 still says it's at Jesmond despite having moved to Belmont and are in process of X12 branding to be applied. 1497 is now at Blyth. -1574-76 and 1578 still says it's at Belmont despite having moved to Jesmond. -Some vehicles which have transferred to Yorkshire are still there (7618/19, 7626/27 and some solos). -All the Volvo B10s are now withdrawn except for 4523 and the training buses. -All the Max Geminis still say they're at Blyth/Ashington despite having moved to Jesmond (except for 7411 which has yet to transfer), and 7412 is still listed as Under Repair. -7456 is still says it's at Ashington Reserve but it's now at Belmont. -7469 is at Blyth, 7474/8 are at Belmont. I think 7475 is at Ashington since it has been sighted on the X21/X22. -7489 is now a training bus, don't know what it has been renumbered to exactly. -7609 and 7610 are still listed as MAX buses at Belmont, they're now at Redcar/Whitby with Whitby P&R Livery. -7623 still listed as Under Repair, but I have seen it in service recently. And here are some questions I have about the fleet list -Are 1003 and 4015/22 still there? They could be withdrawn, but just making sure. And there are many other things which I didn't include. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Wow, I'm surprised 4015 is still in use, presumably for Middlesbrough FC. RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - December 2018 - Pulsar - 21 Dec 2018 1499 is back at Jesmond on 52 today. Saw 7410 back at Blyth on X8 this Wednesday.

Think I saw somewhere that there have been, or will be, road changes outside the Asda, such that the buses can no longer loop round a roundabout to serve that short section of road.

Any one know why Seen 2801 getting towed to blyth at 15:53 to day when I was on the 2 today it looks to have an electrical fire beside the cab window as it has that pannel missing and where it should be is all burnt up with 2 halves of a wire hanging out if a hole. In other news 2802 is repainted so all solos in blyth are now in the new livery. I have also heard the darts will be getting repainted so that will be interesting.

Surprised to hear that Blyth,s Darts are to be repainted- I thought they were gradually being withdrawn.

Sums up Arriva, penny pinching on drivers wages whilst repainting buses with 2-3 years of life left in them at most. RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - December 2018 - Cock Robin - 24 Dec 2018 Be surprised if they last that long. They have a history of repainting buses and then getting rid of them. Eg 1711, 1743. Shows they could have kept the rest of the newer darts longer if they'd wanted.

If so Arriva will have it until it's up for tender and they can gain it if Nexus award them it again. |
