Any ideas why it’s so far away? There was one conked out at the south road colleges bus stop, late yesterday morning, dashboard all lit up red. Probably that one.

RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2018 - S830OFT - 06 Jun 2018 Anybody wondering about the refurbishment of 7634? Here is a video to show the interior, it's different to the other Geminis I.E. it doesn't have MAX logos on the seats. https://youtu.be/VdmmtaXfQp8 RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2018 - PH - BQA - 06 Jun 2018 (06 Jun 2018, 10:37 pm)S830OFT wrote Anybody wondering about the refurbishment of 7634?

RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2018 - Andreos1 - 08 Jun 2018 6 branded Pulsar this morning displaying a 'RIP Mark - gone too soon. Not forgotten too soon' blind this morning.

Not forgotten too soon' blind this morning. A mark of respect to Mark Gibbon - a well known and respected member of Arriva's management team (he was the General Manager at Redcar, prior to that manager at Stockton having worked his way up from driving staff) who sadly passed away last Thursday evening. His funeral is this afternoon.

It wouldn't have Max logos on the seats as it's not a Max route, and Max is no longer an Arriva brand. The Geminis are being refurbished into the standard Arriva specification.

I trust this vehicle is fitted with CCTV that can be passed to the police to help them throw the book at the motorist?

Sure it's withdrawn? Unless there's damage to the chassis that we can't see in the picture, it just looks like a couple of panels that need replacing. Blyth need it as cover for the Geminis that are away for refurbishment, so I imagine if they can fix it they will.

RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2018 - JM03 - 13 Jun 2018 There was a alpha truck at Haymarket before at about 7:45. Looked ready to line up with a X16 pulsar. Any ideas?
