RE: Procters Group - Cock Robin - 11 Nov 2014
Wonder if the 45 might be extended to Port Clarence??
RE: Procters Group - tyresmoke - 11 Nov 2014
(11 Nov 2014, 4:36 pm)Cock Robin Odd. They have a contract to run half hourly to Teesside Park don't they? So if A66 is cancelled the H66 or something else must be increased!
Yes they do, and as the 6 was increased to half hourly in Hartburn I wouldn't bet against the H66 going half hourly to compensate. I always thought they missed a trick in not extending the A66/H66 to Middlesbrough, especially given half of them run light down to do the 492 anyway?!

Absolutely.
RE: Procters Group - Cock Robin - 11 Nov 2014
Bit of overbussing at Hartburn if it does, especially if Port Clarence is left with the just the 1. Always seems to be people waiting for the A66 when I have passed on the 1.

(29 Oct 2014, 6:05 pm)Kuyoyo To follow on, a second vehicle has entered the paintshop for a repaint into the revised plain yellow livery - this being MPD MX05ENE.
Now fully complete - sadly the white background to which the legals are applied to does ruin the appeal somewhat
(29 Oct 2014, 9:46 pm)tyresmoke In addition Dart W365ABD has a full yellow front following the completion of accident repairs.
As does W793VMV

I've been looking at the Dales and District 72 from Darlington to Northallerton timetable and it states that it arrives at Darlington, Tubwell Row at 01 minute past the hour but timetable also states that it leaves Tubwell Row at 00 minutes past the hour, does anyone know what time this service leaves Darlington and Northallerton because this timetable has me puzzled and has done for a while. Also does anyone know why the timetable is like this.

It'll likely leave as soon as it gets in. Usually uses the MCV Evolution MAN AE60GRX

Usually uses the MCV Evolution MAN AE60GRXIt's pretty poor really, I tried waiting for the 1300 journey once and gave up (wether it was because it was running late or the bus had broke down I don't know) Don't think I'll use this service as I'm don't feel relaxed with that timetable and I don't want to get the time in Northallerton wrong as I'd be pretty much stuck there for two hours.
RE: Procters Group - RobinHood - 16 Nov 2014
All of the Richmondshire local bus contacts are up for re-tender next April. I wonder if D&D will still be operating them.

D&D usually run a pretty tight ship in North Yorkshire, most buses wait for late running connections as the drivers call the office to see where they are before they leave. Me and a mate did a great day out using their Explorer ticket in the spring, from Darlington to Darlington via Northallerton, Thirsk, Ripon, Masham, Leyburn, Bedale and Richmond, great value.

They getting anymore or I that it
RE: Procters Group - Jimmi - 04 Dec 2014
Looking on Traveline it would appear that from January 2nd service A66 is being withdrawn and this will mean that only service H66 will operate to Teesside Park which means that there will only be one bus an hour to Teesside Park.
