(20 May 2014, 11:07 am)andy1977 Because ot was actually the nightingale vehicle that had the unsecure engine cover, terms of school contracts with DCC say if vosa fibd a defected vehilce on a school contract they terminate the contract.
My dad, who is a Stanley Travel employee, told me that it was OO05 STX that had the faulty engine cover. I have known this bus to operate a Scholars contract for the NDA in the 2013-2014 academic year so going off this i assume that the information about that incident was 100% correct. I cant see how discussion between employees can end up with a Stanley Travel bus been framed in the incident rather than the Nightengale bus as you are stating it to be.
Therefore i am, not meaning this in a argumentative way, going to believe that the bus involved in that particular incident was the Nexus MPD and not a Nightengale bus. I will also let you believe that it was something else but if we cant really come to an agreement i think it will be best if we just end it here before something bigger escalates.

On a different note - Plaxton Elite J10STX was seen in Middlesbrough yesterday on Glenton Palmer tour work, this will be CN10HFY re-registered.

The demo is an enviro 200 in plain white.
It was on the 968/452 run. No idea what it is on (if it is) during the day though.

I have a feeling it goes like this 968/452/23/939 Short to Concord/968

I was told that it was to be mainly used on services 706/707/708 but has seemed to appear on everything but those services. So you could be right there.

Don't forget the afternoon 452 that runs onto the 968.
I saw it a while back coming down from Stanley, heading to Houghton to do a 452 - but things may have changed since then

Would have to look at the Timetables for those Services I noted, But I think that is indeed the Board which it Runs for the Day, But I could be wrong, I know the Short 939 Interworks with the 968 as I seen the 939 in Concord on Monday Evening, and the Driver changed the Blind to 968 before heading towards Waterview Park,
