It's 1447 it was on loan to Stockton yesterday on the x22 it came back last night and it was also SpRR on the 63 last night

3052 tracking on the x93? Is it a tracking issue or reality of redcars fleet shortages

It got tested again on Wednesday so could well be back in service.

The Pulsars are seeing off the Temsa's, it's been stated elsewhere about 23 which should see them off - presuming the shortfall will be made up by either cutting the number of spares needed, other transfers, PVR decreases etc.

The Evora's are rumoured to be displacing Pulsars to Stockton to displace Streetlites to Merseyside, which in turn will displace Pulsars there - potentially the same ones coming to Redcar.

The impression I get is that Redcar have taken the 10 Evora's away from Merseyside's order, which is needed to clear all their older Pulsars due to the 15 year age limit, and as a result ANE are having to give them Streetlites instead. The Merseyside Pulsars I imagine would have otherwise been for the scrap man had it not been for the wise decision to send them up here to replace the Temsa's which are of a similar age but far more difficult to source parts for.

I can’t see any more transferring until the Evora’s replace them. Luton are expecting theirs in May so it won’t be before then. Redcar’s ones are due around June so as they were originally bound for NW you would assume that Luton are first. 
It could be a long few months of lost mileage for no bus…

Do we know when the electrics for the 43/44/45 are due at Blyth? I'm sure it was stated that would be by March? If that's the case, could some of the Blyth buses they're replacing be heading down for a short while?

Not much use Deckers down at Redcar as it'll be the 57/58 Plate Enviros that I'd imagine are going. 

You might get 3 Pulsars out of it but not much use there and arguably they'd be better displacing the Solos out being Euro 6 etc.

1399 Is under 4720 on the 63

1398 and 3052 both on the X4 today.

According to some, theres a possibility 4723 has now been withdrawn. Anyone know if this is true?
