RE: Redcar depot - robisdave4554 - 25 Mar 2026
It will. Lets not forget though it had to be re-wrapped in line with the Park &:Ride contract requirements. It, like most of the fleet wouldn't have got attention otherwise.

Why is 1432 coming back to Redcar. Are they short again or just for extra capacity

Extra vehicle to enable some repaints to start taking place for buses that are staying I’m told.

Its providing cover for 7401-7406 to be repainted prior to leaving in the summer.

I got told that 1444-1449 might be getting done after 7401-7406 is done possibly 1451-1460 aswell but let's wait and see what happens

Can't honestly see them repainted 1444-1449. They're 16 years old now surely close to end of service.

I'm sure it was said somewhere that anything that is remaining in service will be painted as they want all buses in corporate colours. If they're not getting replaced this year, chances are they're getting down.
RE: Redcar depot - Ryland - 14 May 2026

No idea, I got told it might be getting withdrawn, Redcar will soon be recieving 18x New E200MMCs and 6X New E400MMCs roughly in July time same with Stockton recieving 10x New Evoras

Might be? Definitely is. Finished. Not getting an engine transplant for 2 months use as it’ll be done for when the new ones turn up anyway.

1429. Tracking is 1386 to as seen it earlier on the 63
RE: Redcar depot - Dan manger - 20 May 2026
1429 is missing left side wing mirror and ticker so looking like its the first pulsar at Redcar to be withdrawn

1430 is the Redcar driver training vechale
7406 is local because that's next to go for repaint
4510 is probably hiding away at Whitby
RE: Redcar depot - L469 YVK - 26 May 2026
Wonder how long it will be before Arriva try their luck with 7401-06 on the X14/X15/X16/X18/X20 when they arrive in Ashington.
Suppose they can't be any worse than the ex GAG B9TL's or Daimler StreetDecks on the A19 haha!

RE: Redcar depot - OrangeArrow49 - 27 May 2026
I'm not sure if this is the right thread or not. Just wondered if anyone knows/can find out if Temsa Avenue 4718 has gone into preservation in a museum or not, and if so which museum? Much appreciated. Haven't seen any info about it since it was first mentioned it could be going to Wythall transport museum.
RE: Redcar depot - Ryland - 27 May 2026
1372 towed back to Redcar this afternoon after breaking down on the 62
Believe another new decker has arrived at redcar depot.
And 4 pulsars on the x4 today

Apparently, don't these full under the same Euro 5 / 6 loophole as some of GNE's Cummins StreetLites due to their age?
Given their previous use, it would be silly to put them on anything other than than the 1/2/35/57/57A

Stick their registrations into the CAZ checker and you will see they are all perfectly fine to enter the CAZ.

I'm told they are officially for the 35, but the local allocations tend to ignore what is specified as the vehicle type on the board, so they will probably end up everywhere.

The local allocators are, and have been for a number of years, completely unable to allocate vehicles correctly. The frequency with which 1479 and the 434 Solo(s) appeared on the correct routes was always astonishingly low.
You'd hope that, with the apparent increase in branding with the new MD, those responsible for allocating vehicles would be reminded that they don't just put stuff where they fancy without any thought to how suitable it is.
