Arriva North East

RE: Arriva North East
When I was in Newcastle 2 weeks ago I rode 7802. Some had been refurbished but as yet without MAX branding. A handful of ordinary Geminis were on route 308 to cover the final Volvo B5LHs being MAXed. However, 7806 already had MAX branding as per this photo.

I am pleased to have travelled on former London DLA now Arriva North East 7470 as you say these will be withdrawn soon Kuyoyo.

I rode elderly refurbished Volvo B10BLE 4517 on route 52. Again, with some more Streetlites due here soon I'm pleased to have been on this while I could.

I rode Cross-Pennine Scania 4662 on route 685. I knew to ride one while I could as I'd seen your post about other buses on that route Kuyoyo. Indeed, at Hexham I soon saw an ordinary Pulsar on that route! Oh yes, I alighted at the new Hexham Bus Station. I was unaware that it was even a new one initially as I didn't know they were building a new one. What gave the game away was walking past the old bus station a few minutes later!

MAX Pulsar 1441 on route X12 looked nicer than the older one I did on route X51 in Wales last month.
