Is that a VDL SB200 like a Pulsar? Never been on any Centro before!
RE: Centro 1923 transfer to Ashington depot - Rapidsnap - 13 Apr 2022
It's a VDL SB120, a shorter version, this vehicle along with sister 1924 was new to Ashington depot for the 35.

It's the same as a Cadet or Volvo Merit (for companies ashamed of buying off Arriva), you might have been on one of them before.

Believe 1923 did make it out for a run or so on the 1 in the morning, think it was replaced by 7532.

It's now transferred over to redcar back end of last year where it's still in full use too this day
RE: Centro 1923 transfer to Ashington depot - BusLoverMum - 31 Jan 2023
Is there a depot it hasn't been at, now?

Can't remember it ever being at Blyth or Jesmond (Walkergate)

1923 has been working for Stockton on the 15.

Noticed a Plaxton Centro on Walkergate this Monday afternoon. Guessing it must be the much-travelled 1923. A panel was missing on the front under the windscreen - hope it is still a runner and not on its way to Alpha, Weetslade.
RE: Centro 1923 transfer to Ashington depot - NEbushopper - 25 Apr 2023
I noticed it whilst on a passing metro. Didn't see the windscreen though

You guessed wrong - 1923 was still in service at Stockton on Saturday.

Finally managed to get binoculars on the Centro at Walkergate recently. Turns out it is 1536. Could be a source of spares for Pulsars, I suppose, or a mess room for Arriva staff ?
