1463 is good though, fast and powerful. But I am glad more deckers there. Redcar gonna have issues with 1480 though, whatever its replacing will be better.
Yeh, I remember being on 1404 on the X4 when it was at Redcar for a while and must say that it was pretty good. It was always out on the X94 alot too. It's good to see Redcar getting some 61 and 12 plated Pulsars though. Some of the 09 and 10 plates are slowly struggling at times but Redcar are very good at getting them back on the road. Regarding 1480, I'm sure the mechanics at Redcar will get it sorted. Despite all the flack they got the other year claiming they were the worst, they managed to keep the Temsas going for a very long time and would have been able to get more and more years out of em until the transfers came and sent them to the scrap yard. Anyways, all of the vehicles will end up at Stockton once this depot closure happens.
