To be fair the Darlington town runs aren't exactly much harder, just pottering around all day doing less than 20 mph half the time.

I hope this is paid for by Northumberland Council otherwise, it's a complete waste of money. I do believe it's 'Northumberland Blue' though - ie. https://www.northumberland.gov.uk/Northu...header.png

Thing with Darlington is, whilst mostly for towns, they did often go out of town, including evenings and Sundays, meaning most ended up out all day, every day with certain examples frequently being allocated to DalesBus and the college time 59/X59 from Askrigg to Darlo, the 11 plates quickly became common fixtures on the 21/31 to Sunderland.

Aye that's fair mind. Mind probably doesn't explain how bad some are them though. Darlington does seem to have issues with keeping things on the road similar to Redcar. Obviously it could be just being unlucky with the vehicles they have but the Streetlite's and Enviro 400's based there always seem to be VOR. Who knows though, could be anything.

Darlington has a lot of 67 plate Streetlites, and GNE has a lot of 17 plates which are unreliable, could be the bus....yet they still buy them

I must say that the Cummins engined examples (Arriva's 64/15 plates and GNE's 63/15/16 plates) are a way nicer ride than the Daimler examples.
