It doesn't surprise me that Arriva are running some of their buses off early. Seemingly rather treacherous in places.
7512 on the X15 needed the assistance of the police this morning to get towed out of a slippery spot in Alnwick - a few photos about 2/3's of the way down the page - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...losed.html
The hybrid livery looks very attractive on the MAN EcoCity's; not too sure about the livery for the double deckers that will be going on the 308, but I'm sure they will look brilliant in the flesh!
