Think they have finished with them now, 1465 is also Sapphire, 1468 however is a Stockton Pulsar.

All the native Temsas (4701-7/9-13/5-20) have all been repainted (and refurbished) along with 4700. The remaining Temsas (4721-6) are also due to be treated. After that, Stockton’s Pulsars are due for refurbishment.

1915 still at Durham? How has Stockton all these spare buses even though most of the Cadets have come off, 1923 off the road and 1536 not out yet?!
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - Kuyoyo - 04 Mar 2019
Funnily enough...
1915 returned to Stockton this morning (presumably the fitter which brought it back then took 1455)
And
1536 entered service this morning on X22s (after a College run)
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - omnicity4659 - 06 Mar 2019
At least one of the ex-Yorkshire MAX E400s have received tacky generic "quick links into Newcastle" branding.

7601 had loads of alarms going off on the 16.05 X8 on my journey from blyth to cowpen. It started in blyth when the driver arrived and started the bus up an alarm kept on going off with Every warning light in the cab flashing up in the cab and the speedometer loosing power whipst the alarms went off. this happened alot during my ride as well as the doors taking 5 attempts to open at the isabella. Every time this alarm went odf the driver just shruged and shook his head and carried on. I have been told by my step-dad that it could be the altinator which charges the battery up.

Which ADL E400s/Wright Pulsar 2s have Econospeed fitted?
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - S830OFT - 12 Mar 2019
EconoSpeed explained by DB, unfortunately they seem to think the people of the North East speak German.

Does anyone know what the new PVR of Darlington's 1/5/X1 is?
Does the 12 or 19 interwork with anything now or are they stand alone?

15 is the new PVR.
The 12 stands alone with 2 and the 19 Interworks with the short 3 and 3A.

I missed the announcement of the new ticket machines. Presumably this means no more percussive maintenance required. And no more free rides on the 64 because the machine takes the best part of the journey between arnison and North Road to reboot.

Had a look and it only shows GNE no Arriva

I think omnicity4659's comment references the fact that, when the technology is introduced later in the year, it will then start showing on the app. So, not yet available, but watch this space!
That web site is already proving its worth for the areas it does cover, enabling me to focus my attentions on what's actually working, so further expansion will be bvrilliant!

It's been like that since 5 weeks or so after it was refurbished and repainted.

It reversed into another bus at the Haymarket and they have not bothered repainting the damage bodge job repair.
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - omnicity4659 - 21 Mar 2019
4664 now carries Max branding. Still applying defunct brands to buses it seems...

Will the audio tours be returning this year to the X18/X93?
