RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Jimmi - 11 Nov 2014

RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Jimmi - 11 Nov 2014
Two R reg Plaxton Pointer Darts are on the 1/5 today.1646 is on the 1/5A too.
Seriously Arriva three old Darts on the 1/5/5A pathetic, why are we loosing our Pulsars to other services and have to cram on a 16 year old Darts which aren't big enough.

They seem to be sharing them around as the X66 had 4 Darts yesterday at one point...
It will probably continue like that until the Scanias return.

It's probably better if Pulsars do the X66 but why should the 1/5/5A suffer, also people have been warned about no wheelchair access on the X66 but there is no warning for the appearances on the 1/5/5A, 2 and 8/8A over the last few day and parts of the 5/5A, 8/8A only have one bus an hour which is much good if you are in a wheelchair.

Ideally none of the routes should have to live with the Darts but there you go. If it was me I would probably take the Pulsar off the 12, and maybe shove a Dart on Richmonds too to help spread the pain around. If I had to guess I would say the Prestiges are not suitable for the X66 as I bet they keep overheating. 4007 used to be close to boiling on the 21A

Never seen a Pulsar on the 12/12A yet, normally you end up with a Dart or Prestige on the 2 or 11 instead.
Anyway, 7484 is on the 81.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - John_R - 11 Nov 2014
1647 on 1/5 & 2843 on 75/76.
Wheelchairs should still be able to get on the darts.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Jimmi - 11 Nov 2014
1647 on 1/5 & 2843 on 75/76.Yes wheelchairs will be able to get on a Dart, unless there is alot of people onboard and there is a seat shortage because Darts have less seats.
Wheelchairs should still be able to get on the darts.

RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Jimmi - 12 Nov 2014
Belmont have 1476 on the 7 for the third day in a row and Darlington have joined in the non Sapphire fun by allocating 1508 on the run in front of 1476.
Just seen 4007 at Harrowgate Hill but didn't see what service it was on, I'm guessing 1/5.
