RE: Arriva State of The Fleet
What's currently tracking as stockton spare?

7599 is back tracking on bus times in whitby is this correct.

Also evora 4506 has something happened to this bus as it hasn't tracked since 28th August.

One of the Buses being tracked as spare is 1463. Unsure what the other is as its been double tracking.

Did see that video and had a cheeky flick through, seen one of the Gemini's seems to be heading to Alnwick at Rothbury Motor's though in it.

Around 1:50 in he states some have been purchased privately (I did see that rothbury motors) and some were going to Middlesbrough for service

According to the lad that’s made this video, because of the franchising (Metro) in Merseyside Arriva have lost St Helens and Speke depots meaning some of the older Gemini 2’s that are parked up in this video have been sold privately and some are going to Middlesbrough (Stockton) for service. Unsure how true it is but yet again more second hand buses.

Speke is very much not lost, Birkenhead garage however will be lost next month or so

That will be interesting. I know they have a fair few vehicles which ain't really the right age to be worth scrapping. Also, I believe they have a lot of Ex Redcar Streetlites down their so I wonder what the possibility is that we see them return to Teesside to displace Pulsars. Then again, they probably need to sort out their vehicles out down south and also Streetlites are purely best at town workings. I wonder what the ownerships plan is with the company going forward as they're loosing a lot to franchising.
