Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2020

RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2020
Of the forthcoming changes I've commented that the X4 should remain as it is presently. Whilst it isn't really the fastest connection between Middlesbrough and Whitby it does present the opportunity from those from Redcar, Saltburn etc to travel and then the only service serving the coastal corridor. Perhaps it should be promoted as such using dedicated vehicles?

The X93/X94 move is a good one.I've always been a devotee of promoting this service. The news (elsewhere) of the potential for these services to lose the vehicles that were bought particularly to cope with the demands along the route, is concerning. We hark back to the dark days when the Scania's were frequently overloaded and the E400's - a negative and typical Arriva move - were blighted with breakdowns; there is little to say about the use of Temsa Avenue's, if ever there was an inadequate vehicle. Bottom line is that 7401-6 must remain and additional, and comparable vehicles sourced to provide a dedicated PVR for the route. These vehicles should then be liveried AKA 7401 and the entire service promoted such.
