Metro Replacements

One to avoid today:
1574 - 685 it's on 15:45 Departure from Newcastle.

Stanley travel's 6019 is on loan to arriva for 900 replacements. Got a giggle from me.

Mini Solo on 43. Will be a consequence of Metro replacements. Always the same with Arriva when they do 900's, they should not bid for the contract when they do not have enough buses in the fleet so regular passengers lose out.

Max Gemini 2 on 306 night runs

Rubbish!!!
Regular passengers don't lose out. Buses are hired from other companies to work out alongside Arriva's own fleet members. And loans from other depots cover from buses from other depots in this weekend's case 7520/21/38 7424 and 7616 to jesmond as well as a jh coaches alx 400 and president and stanley travel 6019

Have to agree with Pulsar, always end up with single deckers or Solo's substituting for double deckers on normal service work at various depots when Metro Replacements are on but if Arriva has the buses to allocate in their place on normal service work so they are always going to go and try to get the Metro Replacements, think I'm thrilled when a 29 seater Solo turns up in place of a 76 seater E400 on the Sapphire 7?

7416 on 64 and either 7474 or 7478 sighted on 64

2859 on 5A/7
