I'm assuming it was done from Faverdale and must have been an EU type of working? This year it has been extended to operate out of Middlesbrough so my question has to be, will it be operated by Stockton and if so, what with? Again I'm just assuming here by I think it was operated using a Faverdale based Solo which is ideal and possibily the only type of vehicle that could cope, properly, with some of the road; Buttertubs Pass from Swaledale into Wensleydale comes to mind?
The 826/830/831/866/881 are worked by Darlington depot on Domestic hours as they are split routes like most Dalesbus routes. It's one of four (to an extent five) workings Arriva do on Dalesbus, with Yorkshire operating 3 (including one that extends up into NE terriority from the end of June). The technical fifth working is the 800 from Leeds worked by Yorkshire Tiger.
