Caetano Compass-bodied Dart SLF 44060/1 (Y40/50 TGM) have departed from Arriva Midlands. 44060 was removed from the 63 yesterday (Thursday) and driven down, while 44061 was towed down by Ian Bradley's.

Due to the lost of a glass window from the door of Stand 4 in Middlesbrough Bus Station, services 22 X3 and X4 were using Stand 5 in the bus station today, normally only used by Leven Valley services.

Late afternoon saw MPD 1734 replace a Cadet on the 17/a.

Now had a conflicting report from the arrivane Yahoo Group that 44061 (Y50 TGM) is still sat in Redcar yard.

OmniCity 4646 has be re-fitted with a standard Hanover LED display in place of the green Brightech it has had for about 6 years.

Prestige 4070 has now left Jesmond and turned up at Redcar depot. It is due to replace Dart 1658. Sister 4066 is also destined to move to Redcar soon.

Anyone attending the Royal Bus Rally tomorrow will probably be the last people to see Dennis Dart/Alexander Dash 1658 (K709 PCN), the last K-reg Dart left with Arriva and currently the oldest vehicle in day-to-day service. As previously mentioned (before the forum crash) there is expected to be 4 Arriva vehicles attending (all high floor, so expect Durham and Darlington to send a decker each).

Great, we'll send a Palatine or E Type........ I suppose they are alright really but a bit tired!

Sadly, I don't think I can make it as nobody will drive me up It would be pointless me going my bus as I won't arrive til late.

Forgot to post this last night but anyway.

Yesterday saw Pulsar 1459 on the 21a/31a. It did however break down somewhere along the route and was replaced by a 15-branded Pulsar running 55 minutes late.
