(05 May 2019, 9:35 pm)Kuyoyo wrote An update on some actual news...How long is 1922 expected to remain in service?
1479/95 returned to Jesmond earlier today
1480/97 are spending a second night at Stockton - both have been out on rails today, 1497’s appearance being brief. They are being returned tomorrow
1509/10 are also still parked at Stockton, unused today - they are due to be collected tomorrow
1915, as I understand it, has now been taken out of use - despite Durham still having 1463 (back) on loan. This, I’m led to believe, is due to the move to Ticketer as of today - 1915 had not been fitted with the wiring required (mainly due to the fact it should have already come off by now). This therefore leaves 1922 as the last Cadet standing.

1915 is VOR until Tuesday. Ticketer wiring and machine were installed this morning!
The reason 1915 didn't have the wiring fitted was due to the fact it was out of fleet when the rest got done. Due to 1463s disappearance (Thank you Durham) it got a stay of execution!
All loaned buses will be returning to their home depots. Be another three weeks before the next loans arrive... Wonder what they will be
1922 will be around till at least July if not longer!

Stockton currently have Jesmond’s 1479, 1480 and 1495 (and a fourth as well but not sure what) on loan for rails - the aforementioned trio are all out and about. Also on loan are 1509/10 from Belmont - they are currently spare in the depot due to them having Ticketer machines (Stockton, Redcar, Whitby and - reportedly - Jesmond move over tonight).

Posting changes for the Rhyl area on the North East Twitter / Facebook pages yet they haven't even bothered to release the North East changes happening unlike GNE who released their changes back in April. Complete and utter contempt for passengers and I sincerely hope whoever gets their hands on Arriva (whether it's bought as one or sold in parts) can somehow turn it around.
Gone right downhill over the past 3 or so years.
