Thank You

2807 in use on 7 looks to be branded

Has anyone had issues with buses not stopping when you put your hand out for it, as it happened to me today as I tried to hail the 62, at around 15:17

If this occurs speak to Arriva via email or live chat. They can review CCTV and determine why.

Thanks for the advice, but I did contact Arriva just after it happened, I was wondering if it has ever happened to other people due to the fact that it has happened to me before, funnily enough on service 62!

1808 was noticed back in service at Whitby after its issue in Scarborough! Was on the 0950 ex Middlesbrough

I've had 2 occasions of a driver not stopping when I wanted to get off. Same guy both times and the same guy I tried to complain about getting rather aggressive with a passenger but never managed to get my complaint through. He's old school, to put it politely. To put it in (slightly) less polite terms, he's the sort of radgy gadgy I wouldn't pee on, if he was on fire. Contempt breeds contempt, unfortunately.

And 7416 is also back at Redcar and working the 0850 today.

I read that in some trade press a couple of weeks back, apparently DB are trying to reduce their debt, which is getting a tad too high.

Apparently it was visible on tv on Sunday, waiting for the bike race to pass!

I noticed the bus parked up but could only tell it was a double decker. It was heading towards Whitby at the top of the hill just past Robin Hoods Bay but in a layby on the other side of the road.

Indeed it was. Was definitely a Gemini, though.

2807 is the first of Stockton's Solos to be fitted with a Next-Stop Announcement screen ahead of the roll-out to the 7/7a at some point this year.

Hanover has been fitting Next Stop Announcements to vehicles based at Redcar and Stockton for over a week now - I'd be surprised if 2807 is the first/only one done!

i am sorry to ask this and i probbley already no the anwser to this but is 4513 off the road or is redcar still using it

4513 I think is the one that went to Yorkshire Tiger. If it is then it's been working around Huddersfield for a good 4 months.

The one with Tiger is 4514.
4513 is likely to be in the scrap line at Redcar awaiting its fate.

yeah am sure 4514 is at yorkshire tiger and oh right shame i would of thought they could used 4513 for the summer then scrap it

Further to this - 2826 is the only Solo at Stockton now yet fitted with Next Stop Announcement systems. 2807 was done prior to last Saturday (I only noticed it last night however)

Wonder if they'll work as well as the Darlington ones?
