I've also heard it was a bit of a funny one, came from an independent or something, didn't it? Or another Arriva division?

I drove it at Darlington before it went to Durham and it was shocking. It was so down on power it wouldn't climb the bank on Brinkburn Road on the 4 without dropping it into 2nd.

Forgot to note a few days ago when I was on it, but the upstairs front panel of 7524 is atrocious.
The destination cover is a completely different shade of blue to the surround, can't tell which is the correct shade. It was muddy (clearly hadn't been cleaned), and the side panels were also not quite right.

I'll remember this one... 4852 was just a bus.

As unfortunate as it sounds now, somebody will be left in that perilous situation with a Wright Streetlite in 2030...

1442 has lost its rear X12 branding due to an accident it was involved in on Saturday night.

Was goosed before it went away for refurb, so probably rejected by Stockton

I apologise if this had already asked, but does service X12 require vehicles with a tacograph?

No, as the service is split at Durham Bus Station.

No routes at Arriva North East require tachographs other than some private charters, thats why some vehicles retain tachographs.

I can't really see anything done there that couldn't have been achieved just as well by using the advertising space given. Not the most exciting all over vinyl ever

Saw that tonight, the rear looks great, just a shame the front isn't covered too, the cut back to blue paint ruins it for me.
