Incomplete fleet list (showing as Durham County but listing just about the whole NE fleet): https://bustimes.org/operators/arriva-durham-county/vehicles

Also now tracking the Yorkshire fleet on BusTimes

I know the maximum time a GNE driver can drive the 309 Mon-Sat would be 3hr 45mins as they have to count the time spent driving the float van between New York and Percy Main Depot.</p><p>
