1: What buses are allocated to the peak X17s?
2: How long do the DAF Cadets have left in service?
3: What will replace the DAF Cadets?

I'm just curious as having travelled on 1920 on the 17 to Yarm, it felt like a trip back in time.

To be honest my suggestion would be to refurbish all standard Pulsars at Belmont to Sapphire put them on 22/23/24. Release 1595 - 1601 to Stockton and put them on 7s then the Pulsars off the 7 go onto the 17.

(12 Aug 2018, 4:41 pm)Multi21 wrote X17s are worked off 8s and 28s. In fact one of the morning X17s works back onto X17s in the evening.

The Cadets have atleast 10 months on MOT 

Cadet replacements have had a crazy amount of rumors Commanders, Pulsars and Tempos personally I think it will be pulsars.

Not sure the Streetlites will be at Stockton for much longer.so it's pointless sending the 6 down from Durham

(12 Aug 2018, 6:23 pm)S813 FVK wrote Yet it was absolutely fine to run around in the completed Pride livery for around a month, while making up part of the 308's PVR? The branding just detracts from the cause the bus is intended to promote Arriva's support of. I'm biased, but I'm struggling to think of a reason why that's good, as you are appearing to suggest.

If they are that bothered about making sure 308 branding features on the entire PVR, they should have looked into painting one of the spare MAX Geminis and branding that Pride instead. 

Aware that GNE's 8335 carries the Quaylink brand name, but now there are enough Versas to operate on the Q1/Q2 without it needing to form part of the main allocation on paper, I hope that it will be changed to look more like 5292 in the future.

(12 Aug 2018, 8:14 pm)mb134 wrote How does it detract from supporting LGBT? The swoop hasn't changed, and is still a very prominent part of the livery. It was always meant to be allocated to the 308, so route branding it makes sense. Very much seems like you're making a fuss about nothing.

(12 Aug 2018, 5:29 pm)S830OFT wrote They could always put 1550 - 1559 on the Sapphire 6 at Durham, then send 1524 - 1533 to Stockton.

That's a shame. Will miss the sound of the Cadets passing Middlesbrough library!

(18 Aug 2018, 10:25 pm)S830OFT wrote What are the chances of a Temsa Avenue appearing on services X4/X93? And are there any boards where they are allocated or creep up alot?

(17 Aug 2018, 8:17 pm)Smarty93 wrote Still the chances, spare ones will probably end up on a 17A, 9 or 29A

(28 Aug 2018, 4:33 pm)RobinHood wrote Eleven Pulsars were originally dedicated to Boro's best 11 around 2011 sometime. The fact this one still has Gareth Southgate was just a coincidence for the world cup. It's been named Gareth Southgate longer than he has been in the job!

There are a few others that have the only remaining evidence being a plaque on the side destination screen inside.
