Personally if I was Arriva I'd seriously be looking at using 1512 - 1533 on the likes of the 1/5 (Darlington), X4 (Redcar), 5/5A (Stockton) and move the Streetlite's off them as they're blatently not fit for purpose on them. They're effectively never used at Darlington and Stockton already pretty much on what they're meant to. They're wasted on the 22/23/24 imo.

Stockton shouldn't be running Streetlites on Service 5, that isn't the official allocation anymore. Service 15 is the 'home' for them I think, but they are never allocated correctly.

Agree that Service 1 and 5 in Darlington needs bigger buses than the short SL's that they have now. I know they are getting full size Streetlites from Newcastle this weekend, but that will only cover the Gas Buses.
