Redcar Dart 1309 spent the day on 81s

Thought you got a Scania taken off the other night?!

11reg Solo 2863 and DAF Prestige 4038 were on the 21/21A

Correct allocation for these.
Darlington allocate Solos to service 21 and Stockton allocate DAFs to service 21A.

Was the same one, 4659. Taken off because gearbox temperature light kept coming on. Engineers decided it should come off.

1753 was a changeover for 4659 on service 5/5A, it was swapped with 1909 on the 9/27As, so I've been flogging 1909 on the 5s this afternoon! 1772 was also a changeover for another Cadet I gather...
Surprise 4659 got taken off again!

21A (4030) and then a 5/5A with 1909. My ideal shift really Wink

I know this is going back a few years but I remember some of the guys at the old Loftus depot doing a full 11 hour shift on what were then the equivalent of todays 5/5A's using the old Bristol LH's! Not knocking your shift mind ? Was on 4030 the other day and don't rate the Cadets for anything more than town routes.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
Centro 1924 having a day out on the 5/5a's today. More worrying, looked like a Temsa on 93's, 0923 trip ex Guisborough? Too far away to be sure and would appreciate confirmation please.

We know! Thought these deckers were brought to work the X93? Obviously now top management have gone they are reverting to their old practices; surprised they didn't manage to get 4044 on the x4!
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
Had Centro 1924 on 5/5a today and keeping it company Cadet 1907. That'll have been hard work for someone!
Don't know what they've done to 7501 but you can understand Redcar drivers wanting to keep their hands on it? A flyer!
