Anyone know what is the SP SN (Spare Stockton Ticket machine) today on the 7?

Buses are slowly being de-branded which I'm surprised they are doing, unless they are all going to be getting a Journey Mark upgrade in the future. There would be no point in removing the branding if that isn't the case. Would be a waste of time. Something must be planned in the coming months / year.

I followed Redcar’s 1449 up Yearby bank the other day and it managed about 12mph all the way, down to 8 at the top.

That's also surprising with 1449 as I was on it around a 2 months ago on the X4 and it tanked up the hills. Must have had some serious issues since then.

Edit: Funny thing is that it ain't in service today aswell.

(17 Nov 2024, 2:42 am)Spottybus17 wrote 1472 is back at Stockton tracking as 1470

(10 Dec 2024, 2:05 pm)Mike_98 wrote Redcar's 1438 is currently serving Stockton's 29 Service today. I can confirm the tracking is real as I saw it at 8:45 this morning running about 10 minutes late. I imagine this is temporary?

(30 Dec 2024, 5:45 am)Spottybus17 wrote 1553 is double tracking on 5 & 8 on 27th 
1556 was double tracking on 15 & X66 but it appears to be 1514 on loan to Stockton due to issue with 1488 in Darlington 
1564 has been double tracking since 23rd December

(17 Jan 2025, 11:10 am)Spottybus17 wrote SP SN on 8 is 1399

(17 Jan 2025, 3:54 pm)Spottybus17 wrote Wrong, it’s not a Redcar driver driving it,
It’s a Stockton driver driving it actually

(26 Jan 2025, 7:53 pm)Ryland wrote Have any of the Pulsars arrived today

(03 Feb 2025, 8:55 am)Storx wrote Does anyone know how many are actually due? I know it was mentioned 30 but the fleet numbering suggests theres at least 31 coming unless there's been a cockup with the numbering.

(03 Feb 2025, 9:04 am)Kuyoyo wrote 40 due in total - 1370-1399.
Stockton now have 1379-85/88/9 with NW 3029 currently unknown as to which fleet number it will be as one of the originally intended examples for Stockton remains with NW&W (3027 - which was due to be 1386 - as 3006/1379 is one of the remaining batch of 10 for Redcar).
