RE: Procters Group - tyresmoke - 28 Mar 2014
(28 Mar 2014, 5:18 pm)Roland Pratt It was on 565s this morning. White Solo on the Park and Ride.
W87NDW has been on the P&R all this week.
Notes from Whitby suggest former Procters Vario W995JNF is logo'd up for Esk Valley and was being used on Whitby towns today. Backward step. Possibly freeing up the Darts for transfer??
RE: Procters Group - Kuyoyo - 31 Mar 2014
First morning of the new era and the allocation for the new runs is as followed:
84: GX55LNF
88: YM52TOU
RE: Procters Group - Kuyoyo - 31 Mar 2014
Weekday evening 85/86 works off one of the 455/456, while it seems the 77 works off the other (from 1925/1946 respectively).
RE: Procters Group - Kuyoyo - 31 Mar 2014
The evening Leven Valley work operates as followed:
The 1855 85 from Stockton to Portrack ASDA and the 1905 86 from Portrack ASDA to Elton Park and Stockton uses a bus off the 455/456 (the on-request Flatts Lane 456)
From 1935, that is replaced by the other vehicle off the 455/456
The 1848 77 from Stockton using the vehicle off the 45 (finish in Middlesbrough at 1808). This is replaced by a vehicle off the 18/19 at 1948 (the vehicle works the 1705 18 to Stainton and the 1751 19 back).

GX55 LNF is latest to gain leven valley fleetnames
RE: Procters Group - tyresmoke - 08 Apr 2014
Sadly I just don't get the time these days
Had to laugh at Y191CFS parked up in the bus station with 'Parkway Centre 12A' on its power blind. Intent on winding everyone up I'm sure!

RE: Procters Group - David McGloin - 11 Apr 2014
That one got done first followed by GX55 LNF
RE: Procters Group - tyresmoke - 18 Apr 2014
Compass Royston Vario R47LNU was scrapped, hence why it hasn't been seen for months!
Leven are expecting 4 Dart SLFs fairly soon, to replace the Optare Solos currently being used. Presumably these will be the 4 05/06 plates in the fleets at Procters and Esk Valley.

(18 Apr 2014, 9:38 pm)aureolin But with a makeshift blind, as seen yesterday.
Been like that since last week when it took over from NX59BYC on the R66 - as MW52PYX is the odd vehicle out in terms of destination screens (MPDs V331CVV W365ABD W793/4WMW and Solos T14CRT W87NDW and YM52TOU all have blinds, GX55LNF and the 2 E200s T25SVN and YX60DXY have Hanover screens, SN51UCR SN05HDF and NX59BYC have Mobitec screens and MW52PYX has Brightech screens) and even in Compass Royston days never had the Teesside Park runs programmed in, the makeshift blind is always key. Of course, given the forthcoming arriving of these MPDs from Dales & District and Esk Valley, pointless replacing the screens or getting them reprogrammed.
RE: Procters Group - Kuyoyo - 23 Apr 2014
Ever thanks to Richard Smiles for this information:
The first MPD transferred from Dales and District is MX05ENE, which arrived last night although to my knowledge has not yet entered service.
Solo W87NDW has been withdrawn and is currently undergoing test ready to be sold.
The Varios are now extinct in the fleet - S295UAL and S592RGA are withdrawn awaiting collection for scrap.
Despite being on borrowed time in the fleet, Solo YM52TOU has now received Leven Valley fleetnames although unlike W87NDW and MW52PYX (and likely GX55LNF) it doesn't have one on the front.

Anonymous Dart MX05ENE entered service with Leven Valley (albeit on loan to Compass...) this morning on service R66 (despite what the screen says...) to Teesside Park - seen here in Stockton...

Actually, the one on the 84 isn't MX05ENE but is the other one - VA02NTK on what is possible its first day in service with Leven Valley. Seen here on the 1450 84 back to Stockton from Stillington.

Ah whey, close but no cigar!
To be honest, I didn't see the reg, just the white Dart and the logo - so assumed it was the same vehicle.
Didn't know about this one.
