There must be a reserve bus somewhere to fill in for 4705
Seems about right. Dunno why they would transfer them here in the first place to be honest. Should have sent some Old Pulsar 1's in my opinion or maybe some spare 09 Pulsar 2's if there was any in the region. With 4705 god knows. But they need a good replacement for that.

Guess they were offered and they were a great gap filler but I gather they’re pretty rotten underneath…! Wonder how many more will actually make it into service if they’re all in the same condition?!
May need to look for more vehicles to fill in for the summer season?! Trouble is other divisions only get rid of what they want to bin…

Theres such an easy way Arriva can solve the X93/94 Summer crisis from happening again in my opinion. 7511, 7512 and 7523 from Durham to Blyth for 7607, 7608 and 7611 and then swap 7607, 7608 and 7611 for Redcar's 7424, 7425 and 7426. That way Durham has all ALX's in the area (Just like how Redcar have all the Temsas for mechanical reasons) and Redcar gets more Gemini 2's needed for the summer. Also probs swap 2 Pulsars for 2 400MMC's aswell just incase major problems arise. Thats the way I would personally solve it.
