When Arriva had it, it was slotted into the 57A

It's KNV with the blank rear blind - passed us this morning

It took a turn or six on the 58, yesterday, along with another solo. Back to full E200 working, today.

Interesting that's normally allocated to the 113 service from Bishop Auckland bus station to Sedgefield.

YJ55YGL decided to cut out at a stop on Abbey road at around 3pm. It took the driver a good five minutes before it Eventually started when it did start there was a huge amount of black smoke behind later saw it Not In service, on its way back to West conforth and was unable to complete the Last 4:07 service from North gate to Mowden passengers left stranded.

I don't understand why it's not on the 16 then. As it's been YJ05JWN for the last 3 days now.

My theory is, it developed a issue on Wednesday as apparently it was out at the beginning of Wednesday but YJ05JWN was on by the evening and it wouldn't surprise me if they are just going to keep it on there until tomorrow afternoon now when the bus goes back to the depot tomorrow night. To get the pink bus back onto the 16, you would have to have to send that to Darlington plus then send the other bus (YJ05JWN) back to West Cornforth and of course you would have to get a driver to drive these buses and then there's the extra costs in fuel as well.

Aye, it's easy to swap it out at Coxhoe and get it back to the depot if it needs attention, when it's on the 58.

Well I remember seeing it on Wednesday Morning and then on the Afternoon it was YJ05JWN with the cooling fan on full blast. It was a warm day and I know that YJ55YGL has problems with the heat. So it looks like the pink one has been took back to the depot and then YJ05JWN has been rushed back to Darlington. Well I suppose YJ55YGL is a bit different from the rest of the Cummins solos as an Engineer said that it's original Engine was Slow when it had finished the park+ Ride and was fitted with a Cummins Engine 5.9Litre still but it being from a Bin Lorrie Truck.
