RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - November 2018 - Kuyoyo - 03 Nov 2018
The Centros have arrived from Yorkshire and they are
1535 (YJ58 FFB)
YJ58 FFO
YJ58 FFP
The later two will be 1536/7 but which way round is as yet unknown
Two are currently parked outside in Stockton depot yard in the dead corner while the third is inside being worked on. Note of caution - don’t expect to see them on the road anytime soon.....
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - November 2018 - S830OFT - 03 Nov 2018
On Sapphire 24 the announcement has changed, it now goes: The Next Stop izzzz...
Also the announments seem to be more clear to hear now.

Funny, as I said on here last week that they would be 15xx and I was told I was wrong and they would be 1397-1399. Nice to be proven right eh Jase?

Does anyone know if Arriva ran the 308 upto Bebside for the fireworks and where it went from?
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - November 2018 - omnicity4659 - 03 Nov 2018
Yeah they did. It was from the Bebside Interchange stops I believe.

I can just pass on the info I'm given. It's not my fault it's duff info.
In other news. 1457 will be VOR for a bit as it was involved in quite a nasty shunt at Thornaby Station and has a buckled floor so will be at Gardeners getting pulled back into shape.
Centro update - All 3 arrived with no CCTV so they are all getting a complete electrical rework plus CCTV fitment. We have been getting mixed reports about econospeed on these so if you want a proper ride get on them first few days they are on the road.

Did that happen on Saturday as it was on the S1?

Afew weeks ago i heard off a freind that 7609/10 will return to their home depot at blyth at the end of the whitby park and ride season. Is tgis true. If so are they getting repainted before returning home to blyth. If not where are they going.

No, they will stay at Whitby for the foreseeable.
They may end up running at other depots across the winter to release buses for refurbishment etc, but will be back at Whitby by next Easter.
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - November 2018 - S830OFT - 05 Nov 2018
When will we be seeing the Centros released into service? Also will any Cadets be retained?

It finished S1s (with me at the helm) and was required to replace 1554 on 5s it had its accident on the way back to the depot upon completing 5s.
In regards to the Cadets. Not this year, the centros are our extra Christmas buses.However some of the older pulsars will be getting referbed very soon so dont count them off just yet!
Think it will be a couple of weeks away before we see the Centros as they need rewiring, CCTV fitted, Vandle screens, fleet numbers, ticket machine equipment and various other parts.

Correct. If any buses are to move depots it's the B7s. I believe Whitby have 3? 7424-26. 7609 and 10 will stay for spares on X93s

Will this year's 2 poppy buses 7607 and 7523 be permanent
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - November 2018 - GNE6312 - 14 Nov 2018
Relating to what I poosted in the rare and odd workings thread yesterday about 1499 on the X7/8
It is actually at blyth for presumably afew weaks covering for 1505 which had an accident yesterday (presumably the the X7 or X8 as that's what 1499 ended up on) untill 1505 is back from repairs
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - November 2018 - omnicity4659 - 15 Nov 2018
No, 1499 and another Pulsar will be replacing 7410/1.

Do you know if 7410 and 7411 are just moving depots or being withdrawn?. I would have hoped that if it was withdrawal then 7485 and 7487 would go first as they are not MAX and in my opinion 7410 and 7411 offer much better ride quality.
