RE: Scarlet Band Motors - Jimmi - 06 Jun 2015
At least two Solo SR's now have Durham Park and Ride branding although the two I saw both had different designs.

I like that first one, mind!

Doubt Greg in Weardale will like the second one
RE: Scarlet Band Motors - S813 FVK - 06 Jun 2015
DXR looks too plain compared to the first one. Doesn't look as smart for that reason imo.

Hmm. I would like to vote for the lad when it opens because he is from Stanley but i much prefer the livery on the left. Suppose i have a few days to think.

God you are making this sound like your voting for someone in X Factor just because they are from the same area as you.
Much prefer the livery on the left as I think it suits the bus really well and I liked it as soon as I first saw it this morning and is certainly eye catching while the other one I wasn't as keen on as I think it looks a bit plain.
RE: Scarlet Band Motors - tyresmoke - 06 Jun 2015
I'm going to be controversial, I like the dotty one, less is more!
RE: Scarlet Band Motors - omnicity4659 - 07 Jun 2015
I like DYH. Looks more modern than the other one.
RE: Scarlet Band Motors - Adrian - 07 Jun 2015
I'll do my best to keep an eye on where the two branded examples are running next week, and drop a note on here if/when/where I see them.
RE: Scarlet Band Motors - tyresmoke - 07 Jun 2015
I am told (thanks Daron Hardy!) that YT51EAW was traded in for a newer example, presumably at Ensign.

Diversion to service 20 in Darlington due to road closure tomorrow (Mon 8th June & Wed 10th June):
Service 20 will operate via North Road and Salters Lane North between the town centre and Whinfield.
RE: Scarlet Band Motors - S813 FVK - 07 Jun 2015
Going back to discussion about the Park and Ride livery, i wonder if the original livery worn by the ordinary solos (https://flic.kr/p/6mDVg1) would work on the SR.
RE: Scarlet Band Motors - S813 FVK - 11 Jun 2015
After looking at this photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nebp2/18522602030/in/dateposted/ , i have realised that the right design is actually of the P&R routes themselves around the City Centre:
Red is PR1 from Belmont, Green is PR1 from Sniperley and Blue is PR2 from Howlands.
RE: Scarlet Band Motors - Kuyoyo - 16 Jun 2015
(03 Jun 2015, 11:01 pm)Jimmi YT51EAW is apparently no longer part of the Scarlet Band fleet.
It has been part-exchanged for YN04LWM.

You probably voted for the lad's design, being that he's from Stanley.
I voted for the nice and colourful one. I'd like to see that design when I use the Park and Ride.
