So nearly all the out of town services to/from Darlington are likely to be late today then.

(09 Mar 2016, 11:49 am)scania driver wrote Exactly! The mind boggles at the insanity of these people. Or do they just do it deliberately?

Some of Belmont's Solo's could do with a new lick of paint!

(09 Mar 2016, 3:36 pm)tyresmoke wrote I agree! Glad ours at Stockton are due to be done as ours look scruffy too

(09 Mar 2016, 4:37 pm)DanPicken wrote It's usually the 46/8 they're on.

(09 Mar 2016, 4:41 pm)Jimmi wrote More often it's the 43, 49/49A or 56/57/57A/86 rather than the 46/48 although them E200's seem to have done most of the services at Belmont.

(09 Mar 2016, 9:24 pm)palatine3833 wrote There is a diversion in place on Saturday/Sunday in Crook which means the 46 is making a very tight turn at High Jobshill.  It was decided that the Pulsars were too long, and that the Enviro 200s have a great steering lock, which made them the best buses to use on the service (since there is no alternative diversion).

(10 Mar 2016, 9:02 pm)Adrian wrote Why? I can see it being something on the increase, rather than the other way around. Depending on what the fuel savings Arriva are getting from it?

(10 Mar 2016, 9:09 pm)South Tyne Lad wrote I think he meant he hates it because it stops kickdown in Pulsars. Which I admit annoys me too.
Don't know how much it saves fuel wise though, Its supposed to make gear changes based on traffic conditions apparently.

(10 Mar 2016, 4:52 pm)Jimmi wrote MAX X75/X76 launch will be on Wednesday. Appears to be no TITAN the Robot for these events and despite their claims I doubt that there will be a shiny new bus there either.
