RE: Redcar depot - robisdave4554 - 13 Mar 2026 I can only agree. Damaging any vehicle you are responsible for should be disciplinary matter and potential return to the driving school. In this situation though depot managers would be ove-worked and their wouldn't be enough hours in the day to re-train drivers.who shouldn't really need it. I had the mis-fortune to travel with one such only this morning. In the first instance he couldn't operate the vehicle correctly and lost time. Then when he worked things out drove,in my opinion, dangerously to make his time up. It would have been worth reporting but have you tried engaging with Arriva Customer services?? RE: Redcar depot - Ryland - 15 Mar 2026 Quite a few deckers currently awaiting maintenance at redcar Usual problems 7401 and 7404 7402 was on the 62 yesterday 7406 was on the 62 on Thursday 7598 was last out Thursday presuming its being prepped for park and ride branding 7578/9/99 are still out on loan RE: Redcar depot - Dan manger - 15 Mar 2026 (13 Mar 2026, 6:00 pm)Superman wrote They shouldn't be damaging panels at all. It's careless driving frankly! The route is not difficult and will have been risk assessed for the vehicles they use. It's cars to blame who are inpatient and force there way through a car caused 4504 damage so it's not careless bus driving it's idiot car drivers with no common sense to let the bus through how I know that about 4504 i was on board at the time (15 Mar 2026, 7:29 am)Ryland wrote Quite a few deckers currently awaiting maintenance at redcar 7404 01 are having a few issues again unfortunately it what's a b9 love to do work for awhile then mess up again RE: Redcar depot - Ianthegoon - 15 Mar 2026 (15 Mar 2026, 8:17 am)Dan manger wrote It's cars to blame who are inpatient and force there way through a car caused 4504 damage so it's not careless bus driving it's idiot car drivers with no common sense to let the bus through how I know that about 4504 i was on board at the time I'd concur with this assessment. I was on a bus once that had to go along a section of road with cars packed all along one side, with only room for one line of traffic to go through. Part way down this section, a car appeared from the opposite direction, entered the same section of road, then proceeded to drive onto and along the pavement rather than wait five seconds for the bus to clear.....

You'd think Dormanstown drivers would have more care and respect for their fleet. The roundabout in Saltburn and the crash barriers on Saltburn bank - just two places on the route that have been decorated in Arriva colours. RE: Redcar depot - Dan manger - 17 Mar 2026 Stockton depot aren't perfect 1475 has a pice dangling off yesterday RE: Redcar depot - busesofthenortheast - 17 Mar 2026 (17 Mar 2026, 8:02 am)Dan manger wrote Stockton depot aren't perfect 1475 has a pice dangling off yesterday Just because 1475 has a panel dangling down doesn’t mean Stockton aren’t perfect, the engineers at Stockton will sort it out RE: Redcar depot - robisdave4554 - 17 Mar 2026 Lets be honest. The drivers on the X4 do have a torturous tine of it. A potentially punishing schedule to maintain, difficult passengers to deal with and the acting as an information point for the many tourists. Then of course we have to take into account the route conditions. Two areas have just been mentioned? Saltburn Station Square with people's inconsiderate parking - would double yellow lines make a difference? And of course the notorious hairpins on Saltburn Bank! How many times have I being sat on an X4, the driver has swung out to get position and still some drivers insist on coming down. At least the Evoras have the pulling power to make things easier.

My reply was aimed towards those talking about the issues faced by X4 drivers. I was trying to be sensibly.

Two of these are destined for Whitby’s Park & Ride P1/P2 services, which will be reintroduced at the end of the month. 7598 (YX72OEB), after a few weeks running for Redcar and Whitby, is currently at Durham depot receiving the overall wrap for the new Park & Ride livery. 19/03/26 ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Redcar depot - Dan manger - 20 Mar 2026 (19 Mar 2026, 11:29 pm)Stu1639 wrote I’ve seen a photo of 7598 through people that work for arriva and it is indeed getting branded as we speak, it’s a newer updated version of the previous one carried by 7609/10 I seen it it looks absolutely smart ? suites the mmc to RE: Redcar depot - Dan manger - 21 Mar 2026 1430 is now back at Redcar and on the 62 this morning RE: Redcar depot - OrangeArrow49 - 21 Mar 2026 Does anyone have any more info on Temsa Avenue 4718 being preserved in a museum yet?
