RE: Go North East - State of the Fleet - WestDurhamSwift - 12 Oct 2025
Alpha recovery taking back one of the Xlines Enviros to Hownsgill
couldn't see the fleet number but looking on bus times it was more than likely 6350 or 6351 with both seemingly not finishing the day on there intended boards.
Seem to really struggle keeping these on the road.

Issue is with the lack of spares and not the vehicles themselves.
Given that the PVR of the X30s/X70s and X45 is 17 combined, the 16 E400MMC at Consett are having to cover a PVR of 17.
Need I say more. Arriva Ashington are suffering the same issues due to lack of spares

Double Decker expired outside of Palmersville Metro, looks to have totalled the Bus Stop, genuinely hope nobody was hurt
