The Eden of West Auckland
Finally decided to sample the Newton Aycliffe Town Service 17 this afternoon.
Firstly Solo SB07 JSB was operating the service today which looks better than that Merc that has been on here recently. The driver looked smartly dressed and pleasant and drove the bus slowly and smoothly around the town.
Quite pleased with the service that I was given today, it's just unfortunate that it doesn't run round my part of the town and means I have to continue to use Arriva's lousy service 5/5A.
The 17 will run a normal weekday timetable on December 29, 30, 31.
With thanks to owner Graeme Scarlett on 'Busesnortheast' Facebook Group:
SB07JSB has now returned to JSB after a 3 months trial
V470EBF (OS4) will be used on the 17 from tomorrow
V499EWV will be used on the Bishop Auckland Tesco service
A further Solo has been purchased and is due shortly

As I reported earlier Primo MX06AEA was on Aycliffe 17's.

To me it makes more sense to use the Primo on the 17 as it is newer than the Solo and looks better too, it may mean they are more likely to keep the contract for the 17 where as the Solo may make DCC think otherwise, although when I took this photo it was running around 10 minutes late.

RUNNING LATE AGAIN? Seems strange Jimmi that nearly every time you make a post you end with the service was running 10 minutes late? maybe you should introduce yourself to one of The Eden's Drivers and ask for a timetable, perhaps it is you who has the wrong time, iv'e found you can set your watch by them.
I've had a ride on both their Primo and Solo, both seem to be good buses clean and well presented and the drivers are the most friendly Ive come across in years.

Mercedes PN06FJC is operating Aycliffe 17's today with a custom made display in the top of the window.
Was on-time when I saw it.
Solo V470GBF was on the 17 today.
