Must have been running like that all day as driver of the 09.18 departure from Haymarket phoned the depot to inform them that the destination screen was not working.

Solo 2827 is in an all over white livery on service 9/10 in Darlington today. Ready for repaint into Whitby park and ride. Any idea when the transfer and repaint will occur?

Repaint has already happened - white base livery ready for vinyls. Transfer should happen near to Easter which is when the 171 starts.

I'm a big fan of these Darts! Except the minimal leg room! Just something about them, they're so appealing! I'd rather ride one of these than a Solo


RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - tyresmoke - 11 Mar 2014

4001 on 9/27A today in Middlesbrough, it replaced 1491 which has replaced 4037 on 29s

yeah it was sorry can't see the keyboard to well tonight


RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - robisdave - 11 Mar 2014

It was 1743! We gave it a steer when it left the Bus Station packed at 1025. Why Dormanstown/Whitby keep foisting this wreck on 93's beggars belief! In the words if Arriva " it's either this or nothing!" It got no better at 1125 when Temsa 4720 crawled, fully loaded, out of town.
