(15 Sep 2018, 6:18 pm)S830OFT wrote Streetlite 1564 operated the 11:20 X93 departure from Middlesbrough with a full load and quite a few standing. At Guisborough some passengers were refused travel due to the bus being so overcrowded. The driver advised passengers to wait another hour for the next X93. Absolutely shocking Arriva put 1564 out on a very busy journey with Decker 7426 on the 62.

I believe 7425 is up for test this week and 7426 is on the naughty list. The reason buses on the naughty list end up on 62s is because they go right past the depot should a problem arise. Plus double decker so it can't go anywhere else local apart from 81s but then your dealing with a break down at potentially Stokesley on an hourly service. It's not right the single deckers should be on that service at all between March and October I totally agree with that but a single decker is better than no bus at all. As someone quite rightly pointed out if they didn't keep sending all the deckers northwards this wouldn't be an issue. They need to plug the X93 as best as they can this season because it won't be too long before EYMS/GNE start knocking on the door
