(03 Feb 2025, 9:44 am)Storx wrote Must be still 30. Sorry think I've dragged you into my stupidity this morning. Just noticed now that 100 - 79 = 21 not 31.

Guessing it's going to be:
1370-79/97/98/99/1404: Redcar
1380-1389: Stockton
1390-1394: Ashington
1395/1396: Darlington

I don't know Redcar's fleet but guess they have a few spares lying around as they seem to be getting less replacements than the 25 Temsa's which are going out, including the Evora's.

Sorry, yes it's 30 coming - 10 outstanding for Redcar. No suggestion of 1404 transferring back to the Teesside area - indeed, at one stage 1462 was down for cascade to Redcar from Ashington (better to displace their sole non-Euro6 example than one that has Euro6 modifications) but that movement has now been cancelled.
The 10 at Stockton were originally intended for Redcar as Temsa replacements prior to the reallocation of the Evoras from the North West order to Redcar.
There is now only 18 or so Temsas in use - 4700 is possibly now withdrawn along with a number of others, meaning there's actually more vehicles left to move into Redcar than there is due for withdrawal.

Thanks for confirming, certainly would make sense to send that one down then (forgot it wasn't upgraded). Guessing they're waiting for Ashington to sort of their own repair issues and sending it down later, no doubt with the E400MMC that's still up here (forgot the fleet number without checking).

1462 has also had the Euro6 modifications, it’s certainly listed as compliant and a check of the government website indicates it would receive no charge in a CAZ.

Whispers are indicating that even more stress is going to be placed upon some of the more elderly members of the Ashington fleet with an upcoming service change, so I can’t foresee the situation there improving anytime soon.

1462 is now no longer transferring - no need with the Evoras and ex-NW Pulsars being able to replace the remaining Temsas.

Anyone know if Stockton are going to be putting the Interurban Dark Blue Trim at the bottom of the Cotswold Livery Ones that have came from Merseyside. Same with what they did with the other Pulsars like 1414 and 1422 etc... Or will they remain like that until withdrawal.

Also, I've been on some of the new ones today and must say that they ain't nothing special. I imagine Arriva are planning something big for Stockton once the Pulsars do go. I wonder what they will be ordering.

Interesting, is this a new service or an increase of an existing service? Haven't heard these rumours. 

Still curious who has got the 19, and Arriva would seem the obvious one since GNE haven't claimed it and it appears that GCT have lost it by the lists going around what they've got.

I herd also about 4700 been withdrawn

I been told today that 1379 is on loan to Stockton it's destination is Redcar is this  correct

I've heard that 1379 (3006) was suppossed to be for Redcar & 3027 as 1386 was supposed to be for Stockton but 3027 (1386) hasn't turned up yet so I think 1379 (3006) is on loan to Stockton until 3027 (1386) arrives, that is what I've been told.

Are you sure your not thinking of 1396?

1387 is now out operating today. I wonder what took it a while.

Straight in for MOT when it arrived.

(13 Feb 2025, 4:55 pm)Mike_98 wrote 1387 is now out operating today. I wonder what took it a while.

It failed its inspection so it got new panels on both sides because when it arrived both side panels where damaged, seen it today entering the bus station on 28 but wasn’t tracking until it came out the bus station, I think it was tracking as 1488 before it started tracking as it self.

Arriva Yorkshire 1447 (Ex North East 1475) is parked at Stockton Depot possibly either for Stockton (replacement for 1450) or for Redcar no one knows

1534 still active in stockton when it was supposedly returning to Redcar.
1409 was going to Stockton

I dunno if anyone agrees with me but I think 1379 should go to Redcar & Stockton should keep 1534 until 1386 (3027) arrives from Liverpool because 1379 is Redcars anyways so may aswell send 1379 to Redcar & let Stockton keep 1534 until 1386 (3027) arrives

Probably refusing to send it back just like 1419 to Durham

So is 1475 (Yorkshire 1447) definitely going to redcar

Stockton ain’t refusing anything, 1419 got taken out of service this morning possibly moving to Durham but could be wrong, also no one knows what’s happening with 1475 yet as it’s just turned up at Stockton it was mentioned it could be either for Redcar or Stockton doesn’t mean it’s officially for Redcar or Stockton yet

1475 will probs be a Stockton pulsar not for Redcar. Wouldn't make sense to have a random 61 Plate at Redcar. Stockton will send a 09/59/10 plate that way if Redcar need it.

There should lose 1430 32 or give Redcar 1409 or 1410

 I have a question ?

So. 1409 was intended to go to Redcar but then was diverted to Stockton because of 1450 being withdrawn.  Does this mean it can now come to Redcar along with 1379 and 1534 which are meant to be at Redcar anyways?

1409 is at Stockton as a spare due to a high number of VORs at present - likely the same reason 1534 moved over given that was in reserve at the time. As for 1379, while that was originally on the list for Redcar, it is now more likely that 1386 will go to Redcar when that and the others transfer from Merseyside once they get their batch of Evoras.
