It will. Lets not forget though it had to be re-wrapped in line with the Park &:Ride contract requirements. It, like most of the fleet wouldn't have got attention otherwise.

Just seen 1440 head back to Redcar after been on loan to Durham

Why is 1432 coming back to Redcar. Are they short again or just for extra capacity

(09 May 2026, 8:03 am)Ryland wrote Why is 1432 coming  back to Redcar. Are they short again or just for extra capacity

Extra vehicle to enable some repaints to start taking place for buses that are staying I’m told.

Do you know which ones are staying. Presuming yhe evoras will all end up like 4505, and. Any others

Its providing cover for 7401-7406 to be repainted prior to leaving in the summer.

Just past 1432 about 30 minutes ago on route to Redcar

I got told that 1444-1449 might be getting done after 7401-7406 is done possibly 1451-1460 aswell but let's wait and see what happens

Can't honestly see them repainted 1444-1449. They're 16 years old now surely close to end of service.

Look what stagecoach did repainted buses at Stockton  then never seen sevice again  few times it happened

I'm sure it was said somewhere that anything that is remaining in service will be painted as they want all buses in corporate colours. If they're not getting replaced this year, chances are they're getting down.

What is the situation with 1429.. seen. On Facebook that its suffered engine failure. Is it going to be repaired or is that it now

(14 May 2026, 6:30 pm)Ryland wrote What is the situation with 1429.. seen. On Facebook that its suffered engine failure. Is it going to be repaired or is that it now

No idea, I got told it might be getting withdrawn, Redcar will soon be recieving 18x New E200MMCs and 6X New E400MMCs roughly in July time same with Stockton recieving 10x New Evoras

Might be? Definitely is. Finished. Not getting an engine transplant for 2 months use as it’ll be done for when the new ones turn up anyway.

Tracking issues  are acuring  1424 will be off awhile  

1430 is the Redcar driver training vechale 

7406 is local because that's next to go for  repaint 

4510 is probably hiding away at Whitby

Wonder how long it will be before Arriva try their luck with 7401-06 on the X14/X15/X16/X18/X20 when they arrive in Ashington.

Suppose they can't be any worse than the ex GAG B9TL's or Daimler StreetDecks on the A19 haha!

Can't go in to Newcastle there not euro 6

I'm not sure if this is the right thread or not. Just wondered if anyone knows/can find out if Temsa Avenue 4718 has gone into preservation in a museum or not, and if so which museum? Much appreciated. Haven't seen any info about it since it was first mentioned it could be going to Wythall transport museum.

1372 towed back to Redcar this afternoon after breaking down on the 62
Believe another new decker has arrived at redcar depot.
And 4 pulsars on the x4 today

Apparently, don't these full under the same Euro 5 / 6 loophole as some of GNE's Cummins StreetLites due to their age?

Given their previous use, it would be silly to put them on anything other than than the 1/2/35/57/57A

(27 May 2026, 8:25 am)Dan manger wrote Can't go in to Newcastle there not euro 6

Stick their registrations into the CAZ checker and you will see they are all perfectly fine to enter the CAZ.

I'm told they are officially for the 35, but the local allocations tend to ignore what is specified as the vehicle type on the board, so they will probably end up everywhere.

The local allocators are, and have been for a number of years, completely unable to allocate vehicles correctly. The frequency with which 1479 and the 434 Solo(s) appeared on the correct routes was always astonishingly low. 

You'd hope that, with the apparent increase in branding with the new MD, those responsible for allocating vehicles would be reminded that they don't just put stuff where they fancy without any thought to how suitable it is.
