This has been the case with blyth's 2810 which has a door which cant shut properly and ashington's 2813 which has both of their doors open abit lest to flap about. Arriva really don't care about how safe their buses are they only care that they have the right amount of viechles and are on time. Also last week a 306 cut across the queu at haymarket to get to the 309 stand instead of delaying its self enen more to be safe but instead he did that because he arrived 3 mins after depart. The 309 driver stoped in the X18 stand webt to the 306 driver got him to move but the 306 refused and the 309 driver called him a f*cking idiot

You sure about that?!

Which Pulsars are getting refurbished at Belmont?

Can we keep the sarcastic comments to ourselves please? There is no need for them. Fair enough a pretty ridiculous comment has been made, but there is plenty of room to make a factual argument in return.

Has Arriva North East got an Yorkshire Tiger learner bus at the moment? I have seen it twice today in Bedlington and Blyth

Yes, on loan to Ashington, whilst the B7 decker has modifications done. Probably only here until end of next week. I think it's a Centro.

Optare Tempo up there on loan I believe.

A 52/54 streetlite & interurban pulsar were at blyth depot at around 10:22 this morning. Probably here for MOT

If anyone is interested, I have produced an artwork impression of the potential new livery for services 22, 23 and 24, should they be combined when the refurbished Pulsars enter service next week!

Your thoughts would be appreciated! Big Grin

1766 has had it's full rear ad removed and it looks like it has just returned from war.
Should have kept it on for longer. It is nothing short of a cheap home job. It is completely ruined.

If the advertisement company discontinue the contract to advertise, Arriva will remove the ad.

Here is my photo of what 1766 now looks like at the rear

Please look and tell me how awful 1766 looks now.

Completely ruined is a bit of an over exaggeration.

Ok must have been repainted.

Can Deckers be allocated to the peak 64 journey that goes to High Pittington?
