Remember, the depots are all part of the same company. No depot is being greedy, they're just moving the buses around in the best way to fit the needs of the business as a whole and not one specific depot. Depots will make requests and push their needs, but it will be decided higher up what the commercial requirements are.

You really need to stop this petty argument about who blows up more buses.

Banned for what exackly? I'm not doing anything at all, your the one who's complaining about buses being at Stockton & I'm just stating the fact that Stockton isn't being greedy it's just what needs to be done to help the depot out  & you clearly don't understand that.

I think you both just need to realise that it's a business, and the management will make the decisions which make the most commercial sense and the decisions that will keep the shareholders happy above anything else. Even the depot managers will be unhappy at a lot of decisions that come from above, but that's how it works.

Exactly that’s what I’ve been saying commercial are the ones who makes the decisions where the buses go because my friend told me that aswell

Probably for the summer  as a Extra vehicle  as I understand  after 2841 left it kind of left them short

It isn’t a waste of a good bus, Stockton needed it back anyways


RE: Redcar depot - Storx - 22 May 2025

There's nothing planned for a closure, as far as I'm aware, to make this clear upfront.

But does anyone know if what the future is for Whitby? Obviously working with a local independent isn't a problem but Esk Valley has recently been bought over by GoAhead.

Can't exactly see Arriva and GoAhead wanting to be partners in the long term, for the obvious reasons, due to competition locally nevermind anything else.

Arriva moved out of Esk Valley's yard many years ago - they now work out of the old Coastal & Country depot, which Arriva now own.

Ah that would make sense then, never realised they moved. Never down those parts - didn't even realise that existed, truth to be told.

Drove past redcar depot yesterday. And noticed 4706 parked up not in service. Drove around seen 4704 being driven in NIS and a random pulsar parked up. Hopefully the evoras are on route. Any confirmation of when and same with the pulsars from Merseyside

Don't think it's been confirmed but they're starting to turn up at Luton and Bootle now so assume they're due very very soon. The Luton ones displacing their older examples to Merseyside which are displacing Pulsars.

Some envoras have arrived today at Redcar. Hopefully not long till they appear in service

Three arrived yesterday which is great to see this much needed investment for the X4 arrive. I’d expect it’ll be a month or so until we see them in service though.

Until they end up on every route at Redcar like the Streetlites did

Random question. How did they arrive. Were they driven in or by lowlanders just very curious.

Also judging from the pictures 2 temsa appear to be on death row/ maintenance roads 4704 and 4706 i believe

Driven in by Lowlanders?  I presume that's a typo for low loaders, but here's what passed through MY mind when I saw that phrase!  Smile

Streetlites where perfectly fine on X4 when they where brand new
