Yes! Think I posted (or meant to post can't sure if I did or not as way on way to work) but there is a Pulsar regularly on the 24 that has a really bad shaking, bouncing and rattling its awful. Needs some attention ASAP. Much prefer the Omnicitys.

That's awful!
Whitby have Temsa 4718 on service 5 today, pretty rare you see one on there! All to do with the increased availability of Enviro 400s on service 93.

I saw an Omnicity on the 24 that should have departed on the 1611 run to Sunderland (just missed it) crawling to Peterlee with its front suspension gone. Didn't catch the fleet number, however, it looked like one of the 05 reg ones transferred up from down south. Saw it laid up in Peterlee bus station later on. What on earth are they doing to their busses on the 24?!

The last 5B is a mistake on the Connect Tees Valley timetable and it will continue to North Skelton (arr 0000) as it does currently.

(11 Sep 2013, 9:25 pm)tyresmoke wrote Unusual (wrong brand) working tonight saw 27 branded 1447 operate the 1745 X6 from Middlesbrough to Kingsmead. This board is meant to be an unbranded bus as it does the X6 on the end....
Also forgot to mention yesterday 27 branded Pulsar 1449 replaced Prestige 4030 on 5A at 1630 and Prestige 4007 got replaced by Pulsar 1494 on the 21A at 1445.
This morning has seen Cadet 1916 work the 0630ish 21A Deaf Hill to Peterlee and 0715 return, it's just arrived into Middlesbrough! Very rare to see a Cadet on there! This particular working is on a 28 board though.

Rumour has it they were looking for some sort of outstation premises up that way.
Stockton MPD 1771 is currently on service 5A to Brotton. It replaced Prestige 4062.

Getting a lift North somewhere on the A1 south of Bowburn.
Missing rear offside cluster and not sure of steering had gone judging by the inward facing front wheels.
I'm not sure how busy the 23/22 get at Hartlepool, but the 22/24 seems to get decent loadings on the Durham-Peterlee sections.

yes. the 22 will be going via Southway and Helford Road, so I think in Hartlepool the 23 route will go via the 22 route and vice versa like what it used to be before the changes, don't know about the 24 yet, the 24 might be going via Oakerside on evenings. 50/50 at present until some confirmation comes to light via Arriva or Durham Council, been looking on Arriva website under Peterlee and only has the new 21/21A timetable for October 27th 2013 so far.
Ashington Driver Trainer 8212 (L502TKA) has left Arriva North East and is now in service with Arriva Yorkshire.
It arrived during April 2013 - and looks very nice in her new livery...
