It was VOR against the fence last two times I've been down. Had only just been re-tested!

Get real, it's supposed to be an enthusiasts forum.

Well said.

(26 Mar 2020, 8:17 pm)scanialover wrote I'm thinking that I've seen it somewhere that both 1759 and 4516, both ex Dormanstown have actually being permanently withdrawn from service and now probably scrapped. A shame really.

Neither of them have been scrapped. 4516 is on loan to Yorkshire Tiger.

Doesn't need double deck vehicles presently and an hourly service, entire route will more than suffice. Take the Decker's into storage elsewhere, operate the service out of Stockton using VDL's. Only problem with it would be Whitby town services?

I doubt whether any service requires double deckers at the moment but no reason to swap the fleet round. The X93 is running less than hourly at the moment anyway.
