I'm not sure whether the PVR has dropped at Redcar but don't believe the 2 Pulsars that went to Blyth ever got replaced. There's only 3 of them anyway at Yorkshire, be ideal for the X93 during the winter when it's dead to let the B9's go for their annual work. Rather than the farce last year with anything they could find.

They where meant to of been replaced by 2 solos but don't think that ever happened

Yeah I heard that. Must admit I don't know Redcar very well but do they need more minibuses. Thought everything there was big bus operated.

Only real use for the mini buses, used within redcar really are for those services in Whitby  for the 95 service. Other than that really  there mot many services that would benefit a minibus

Yeah that's what I thought and they have 4 already if I'm right. Definitely a strange swap if it happened.

Would these be repainted or hold the orange livery

They are going to Darlington.

According to Bustimes, Darlington's 2852 is on the 55 today

I can confirm that 2852 is indeed on the 55

After it’s summer at Redcar, 7414 is now at Durham

1800 spent all day doing the 52/53/54
Had tracked as 0070

7614 was also operating at Durham

May have missed it, but have Redcar picked up two Corp-branded pulsars?
Haven't long seen two on the X3A.

The majority of the 63-branded examples have now be de-branded

Had a chance to check out bustimes (https://bustimes.org/services/x3a-skelto...dlesbrough) and there's nowt unusual on there. So it looks like it was a pair of de-branded examples, like you say.
Didn't realise they were getting rid of any vinyls.

Yep all of Stockton’s Streetlites have been done also.
The Redcar ones have just been tidied up with most of them now wearing a full set of branding once again - including a much smaller map on the rear!

Anyone know if Jesmond will get two Volvo B7TL Alexander ALX400 and Blyth will get 7609/7610 this year

Would be good if Blyth got 7609/10, 7618/19 and 7626/27 to have the complete set of Geminis 7601-7637 and see off half a dozen of the Pulsars elsewhere, would leave just enough of them for the 1 and 2 and Geminis for all the Blyth-Newcastle work. It'll never happen of course.

I'm taking the theory of redcar getting 2 extra solos isn't happening

Hi just seen ex red london E400 arrival on 63 I think?

As mentioned by a member of busesnortheast on Facebook Former Yorkshire tiger omnilink 760 has now been delivered to Darlington but is not currently in service

With Yarm Fair taking place over the forthcoming week, Stockton will be exchanging 5 (or maybe 6 - who actually knows) Pulsars for the same number of Solos to work the 7/7A when Yarm High Street is closed with an additional vehicle required for the 17 shuttle on Saturday. So far, 1469 has moved to Darlington. The other vehicles expected to go out on-loan from Stockton are 1418/23/26/68/70.
