(06 Oct 2017, 7:40 pm)Jimmi Will just be the current service 7 being re-numbered.
Same with the 20 (1, 2?) re-numbered from 70/71/72.
Variations on services 110/111/112 from the same date as well.
Ah right didn't even know the 7 existed haha - not a clue on services around there!
RE: Scarlet Band Motors - BusLoverMum - 06 Oct 2017
Noticed they got the 52, as well.

It's been reported elsewhere that Scarlet Band have aquired Optare Solos: YJ54UWN, NT05NBM, YN53YGY, PM04MKP, YN04LWZ all from Damory Coaches. All of which have Cummins engines and are M950's, apart from NT05NBM which is a M880SL.

The monthly Ticket prices are quite expensive compared too the range of Arriva Tickets.

Aye, for £25 per month I can buy an all of county durham, with no gaps whatsoever, plus links to newcastle, teesside, Richmond etc etc.... £28 for the whol of the North east from scabby to berwick.
Or £23 for a patchy service.
The only VFM is offered on simple day returns, but definitely not on S1/2. The 58 is bargainacious compared with the 22 from Thornley to Durham, but the S buses sound expensive compared with arriva Durham city day tickets.

The S1/S2 are they a commercial service

No, I think they are supported. Unless they have a busy peak period that I've missed, they appear to be an enormous waste of money, too. Everyone just catches the 6.

£25 is a weekly ticket isn’t it?

No changes to current 58/58A licence on VOSA at present, however I've looked on Traveline and it would seem that the 58A will now only operate between Durham and Peterlee
Departs Durham Bus Station at: 20:05, 21:05, 22:05.
Departs Peterlee Bus Station at: 22:27, 23:27 (second trip terminates at Coxhoe).

Where does the 20.05 departure go too
21.05 would be 22.27 Return to Durham
22.05 would be 23.27 Return to Coxhoe

It would appear that I should have done more research before posting.
The 20:05 & 21:05 58A's from Durham supposedly terminate at Peterlee, however there's 58A's from Hartlepool at 21:44 & 22:44.
Can only assume they are going to run from Durham to Peterlee in service then light to Hartlepool then in service as the 58A from Hartlepool to Coxhoe/Durham.
This is all assuming that the info on Traveline is correct.
