Interesting. Isn't this the time when DCC is reviewing all its supported services?

Yes, Durham County Council support it.

I think it just seems a little odd that this is set for a cancellation on a Saturday and I think many of the contracts in County Durham are due to end in June (unless things have changed).

Look out for a change to the 113, extended to Sedgefield.

I've been thinking for a while that they should have merged the 33 and 113 to create one through service.

Now they just need to renumber it as the 69 and extended it to Stockton!

RE: Scarlet Band Motors - cbma06 - 22 Mar 2016

the owner have been looking to merge service 33 and 113 together for quite awhile now, but have unable to as service 33 is secured by the council and scarlet band will not run the merged service commercially and want the backing of the council. the email extract would of been dated when scarlet band took over the service a few years back.

Not seen that in a few weeks, often seems to be allocated to the 113. Is it still red and silver? https://flic.kr/p/uy6Hfh

They've been using fleet liveried E200's on the 700/1/2/3 for a while now.

It is, yep - I just saw the red back end as it passed, which obviously caught my attention, so big'un stalked it, later, with his camera. His picture was more hedge and window reflection than bus, so I might hoof him out the house, the next time it's due to pass!

The older Solos in the fleet have Mercedes Engines while the newer examples ( 05 reg etc ) have 6 Cylinder 5.9L Cummins ISBs.
