Mike_98Withdrawn Centro 1535 has starting tracking again on the X4. I would imagine that is the loaner Streetlite…?

Also whats happened to 1427, anyone know?

1557 is 1535

I'm surprised that 1421 was aloud to go up to Northumbria from Redcar on loan, even though Redcar are in a shortage too. I'm guessing Darlington, Durham and Stockton are also in more of a shortage than Redcar...

Is that even Euro 6? As it's currently heading to Newcastle now tracking as 7506. 

I was just about to ask what it was as there's nothing at Blyth in Cotswold with an interurban skirt. Just seen it now waiting for the 57.

Don't believe it's Euro 6. At the time they received it today it probably would have been decided to just take the fine and get it into service ASAP, rather than wait for a Euro 6 example to arrive into Blyth on the 1 to swap over.

Yeah that's my thoughts aswell, mind surprised they haven't made an effort to get it off during the day tbf.

Seems a bit silly to have a Euro 4/5 bus at Blyth aswell considering there's 2 boards in the whole depot it can realistically be allocated to.

Darlington are still currently awaiting 3 of the E300s to enter service and also 1515 is currently on a loan to Durham,

1421 is erou 4

In fairness once it's been to town once there's literally no point in taking it off, they've already got the fine.

I thought it was an old photo.

Surely if redcar were having to loan 1557 it's wrong to take 1421 from redcar.

1557 is now retracking at stockon

1535 is retracking do we know which bus it is

Is it just once a day and not every time you enter the zone? I genuinely don't know.

It is a daily charge

Saw a Centro out there on the X4 earlier. Didn't catch the id though.

Edit: It wasn't 1534 if the timings on bustimes are accurate.
It would have been the board after that.

All of the Pulsars are minimum Euro 5. Still not CAZ compliant, but Blyth were eight vehicles short for service this morning, it's probably a case of anything will do.

 Actually it was 1557 Stockton Streetlite on the x4 under 1535

Thanks for that, wasn't actually sure tbh.

So, has 4711 actually been withdrawn? I know people were quick to mark it down as withdrawn on bustimes but there has been no permanent replacement for it so I'm kind of confused because they wouldn't withdraw it if they have no replacement...

As 7574 Rentered  as its been tracking up north

I herd that Blyth have knackered 1421

More likely it was already knackered before it got to them.

7581 as permitted transferred to Redcar whitby  its on the x94

(29 Apr 2024, 7:08 am)Mark66t wrote 7581 as permitted transferred to Redcar whitby  its on the x94

That's good news. Once the DB300's and B9's get their problems fixed the Double Decker Fleet should be a decent strong fleet.

Also, I don't know if 7581 has had it's machine swapped but it seems 7404 has started tracking in it's place on the X94.

1421 is tracking fir stockton on the 15/6

(02 May 2024, 5:21 pm)Ryland wrote 1421 is tracking fir stockton on the 15/6

Definitely on there. Passed it earlier.

(02 May 2024, 5:37 pm)Andreos1 wrote Definitely on there. Passed it earlier.

 It's on temporary loan it should be back at Redcar depot tomorrow

Don't know if it's a tracking issue but 7579 & 7580 are not tracking today but instead, 7402 & 7403 seemed to be back into service and tracking again unless they swapped the ticket machines. I know 7402 was out for over a month.

(02 May 2024, 6:40 pm)Mark66t wrote  It's on temporary loan it should be back at Redcar depot tomorrow

Still been out with Stockton if tracking data is to be believed.
