If what I'm told is true the DB300s cascading to Blyth are the above. Obviously, this is subject to change as always.
All bar 1535/1543 are Interurban liveried, with those two being MAX specification. If the rest get refurbished, they won't be able to be painted in MAX to match 1535/43 and the Pulsars on 306, due to the new Arriva Brand Guidelines. The North East marketing team have really shot themselves in the foot again by refurbishing the B5LHs...!

Ashington obviously care about the employees, so for there safety and passenger safety it’s probably safer to remove buses off the road, what happens if it was your family member or something that was driving and something went horribly wrong and didn’t end up coming home?

I was a passenger, and even I was crapping myself at times going through what could only be described as an apocalypse.Hope everyone was alright. All respect to the Drivers who have drive the buses in the weather. Out of interest where did you find the picture or did you take it. Looks like it’s on the A192 near Neddleton and Plessey Wood.
This happened. Lives were put at risk. That's why services are being pulled.
