RE: The Eden of West Auckland - Jimmi - 27 Oct 2014

Today was the first day of the new Newton Aycliffe Town Service operated by The Eden.

The bus used was Optare Solo M710SE - SB07 JSB, not sure if they've bought this from JSB Travel or if its just a loan, still has JSB Tavel vinyl's on the back

Sad to report that it was running about 10 minutes late when I saw it Sad 
Hope this doesn't become regular occurrence.

Solo V470GBF has been fully repainted into Eden livery, but I'm not sure if this has actually been bought from JSB or on 'lease' for the duration of the initial service 17 contract

Any idea how long the initial contract lasts.

RE: The Eden of West Auckland - jaimz13 - 30 Oct 2014

What happened to SB07BUS I saw that on 17s

RE: The Eden of West Auckland - Jimmi - 30 Oct 2014

SB07 JSB is on the 17 again today and it looks like the LED screen has been updated, still only says TOWN SERVICE. Was on-time today.

RE: The Eden of West Auckland - jaimz13 - 30 Oct 2014

Have they bought SB07BUS

RE: The Eden of West Auckland - Jimmi - 30 Oct 2014

They have SB07 JSB on the Aycliffe Town Services, although I'm sure they bought it from JSB Travel or it is a loan.

Here it is on the 17 today:

Until next July - SB07BUS is just a loan from JSB Travel

The Primo must be off the road again as the white Merc that's normally on the Tesco bus has been on the ASDA free bus.

Meanwhile V999EWV was on the Tesco free bus yesterday:

Thought it would be given that the Newton Aycliffe Town Service 17 doesn't run on a Saturday.

RE: The Eden of West Auckland - Jimmi - 05 Dec 2014

A new addition to The Eden is PN06FJC, seen here today on Newton Aycliffe Town Service 17.
