(07 Apr 2016, 2:23 pm)Jimmi wrote Yep, one of those two. Think it's been the 08:50 most days although apparently a B7 was on that run this morning.

2829 has returned to Stockton following repaint.

(07 Apr 2016, 4:58 pm)Jimmi wrote An update on Frequenta 64.

1324 and 1325 are currently unbranded, 1325 appeared to come back from Thornton's today as I saw it on the A1 near the Metrocentre around 11:30 this morning with it appearing on the 64 this afternoon.

1326 has yet to be repainted.

(14 Apr 2016, 6:00 pm)mb134 wrote 2 brand new bus stops have appeared over the past day or two next to Morrisons on Schalksmuhle Road in Bedlington, finally a point to the X22 running along there?

(15 Apr 2016, 1:14 pm)GX03 SVC wrote Yes, these stops are for the X22. Next stop announcements are going to be updated soon.

(15 Apr 2016, 1:23 pm)mb134 wrote Drove past again this morning, no timetables in them yet, do Arriva have to register them as a change?

(15 Apr 2016, 11:57 am)Multi21 wrote Completely had it by the sound of it. Was speaking to a Redcar driver yesterday about that one and he said the retarder got stuck on and jammed the back axle. 7416 has been drafted in as a replacement.

(15 Apr 2016, 2:17 pm)scania driver wrote The saga goes on ? First it was the 12xx series coaches, then the Scanias. They've tried E400's (75xx series) which they ran into the ground ; 7485 et al we know to be unsuitable for the hills and it won't be long, at this rate, before the BTL9's are past their best. Now we've got an ex-London cascade drafted into fill the gap. What sort of impression does this create. Not a good one in my eyes.

(15 Apr 2016, 1:27 pm)GX03 SVC wrote Drivers have been requested to stop at them if there's people waiting, but aren't allowed let people off. I'd assume that they'll become fully operational on the next timetable change?
