(26 Sep 2018, 7:37 pm)S830OFT Can Deckers be allocated to the peak 64 journey that goes to High Pittington?

Can't think of any bridges with height restrictions on the route, so don't see why not.
Sure deckers were allocated to certain runs on the 64 at one point not too long ago.

(25 Sep 2018, 5:39 pm)GNE6312 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.

Was that the Whitby ad or had it been changed since then?

(25 Sep 2018, 6:01 pm)GNE6312 Here is my photo of what 1766 now looks like at the rear

Please look and tell me how awful 1766 looks now.

That's dreadful.

(25 Sep 2018, 4:41 pm)BeachBoy99 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

You reckon they'll enter service next week?!
I would give more priority to the route branding. Can hardly see it compared to the email address.

Since it was reported in the Rare Working thread, the first of the 'MAX' swaps has taken place

7553 is now at Ashington
That has displaced 7415 to Jesmond
Which has released 1482 to Durham

Understand that from Monday, one of Durham's X12s is booked for a B7TL - although that's likely to be 7620 unless its swap takes place this weekend...…..

The only place 7620 can go is Blyth tbh, it could release 7469 to Belmont to join 7474 and 7478.

7474 & 7478 are at Belmont to cover for buses off for Sapphire referbs. Believe the plan is for 7620 to go to Blyth in exchange for 7456.

There's often one timi g with fram school kicking out, though that may be coincidence as there is rarely a full complement of branded E200s

Should be, not sure how long that'll take.

Could Arriva not have a dedicated fleet of school buses for school contracts? Because lately it has been any spare bus or taking a bus off another service. And that spare bus tends to be branded for other services.
