Noticed confirmation that the 395 is withdrawn from 21st Jan.

Also the 360 is reduced to hourly whilst 329 increased to half hourly. Do we know if the 360 will be stand alone or interwork with something else?

The 360 is also under consideration to be withdrawn my guess is one hourly 329 will interworking with it it’s the reason why the 40 minute frequency was used.

I'm assuming this hourly reduction is the last step before eventual withdrawal as we've seen Arriva do with other routes over the years.

Possibility of 2901 heading to Yorkshire this week In exchange for another pulsar2. Will be numbered 3215 which ever arrives.

3215 is here now on the 352 so 2901 must have already gone.

I con only assume CX58EWF is there too as its not tracked since end of November and its not in our depot anywhere. I k ow it got returned from Yorkshire with a fault but seen service after that.

As per the Arriva post
2694 gone thorntons in Hull today
2693 been at Thorntons being refurbished and has now gone to Wakefield so would assume a pulsar 2 in exchange
2987 rta damage u sure if it will return
Plus other VOR MoT work etc leaves us on bare minimum if not short of vehicles
