@@NorthEastTravel1 1443 has to be my favourite Stockton 10 Plate at the moment.

@@TheToneG273 What do ya mean, mate?

If you're talking about the amount of corners it turned, the amount of speed bumps it goes over and the amount of times it stopped, its just a Town route, that's all.

@@NorthEastTravel1 Aye, someone just told me about the 4715 situation yesterday.

@@MiracTheEpic Parts of it were rubbish which averaged it out for me but there was some decent thrash.

@@James-zs3cn They were coming from the Emergency Exit Door so it can't be fixed. It isn't necessarily a problem with the bus, it's just incredibly annoying.

@LAMtransport76 thay could refit the door and tight it

@@James-zs3cn Its a waste of time to be honest and Arriva wouldn't do that I don't think.

@@James-zs3cn Certainly sounds like it mate, but it'll probably be in service for another 5 years.

There was some traffic too.

Oh and the driver was already late.

To be honest, all I could hear was the cooling fans and the bus accelerating.

I saw it on the 81 on Saturday and there was also a Temsa on the 81 going the same way.

@@MiracNotFound Well it did struggle...

This one wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination but its probably my least favourite out of the ones I've done.

I was on it again today and have ANOTHER recording of it. I have one on the X2 and one on the 63. The recording on the 63 was from today.

A lot of them are exactly like this.

They seem to be a bit sluggish too.

Most of the drivers I've had on the 5/5A have done well with 61 plates.

@@NorthEastTravel1 I actually googled Stagecoach Pulsar and there's a result that shows a Volvo B7RLE Pulsar and it just looks wrong in the Stagecoach Beachball Livery.

It was my first time on one in 9 months and it wasn't too bad, but to be honest I'd rather take a ride on an 09, 10 or a 61 plate Pulsar.

Actually I'm wrong I was on one 3 months ago but apart from that it was 9 months ago.

@@LAMtransport76 09 Pulsars all the way for me personally.

@@NorthEastTravel1 Agreed, based on all 4 in their prime 09 plates clear.

@@NorthEastTravel1 To be fair he was quite a few minutes late.

I haven't been on 1559 in some time now.

It's certainly not the best.

@@NorthEastTravel1 1567 isn't a much better vehicle. 1567 always has rattles, it's sluggish and it's lazy. 1564 still has the hard slam onto the axle when going over speedbumps. 1552, 1554 and 1556 seem to have the worst reliability record at Stockton at the moment.

@@LAMtransport76 Also, I see the NSA screen is working on this but the audio wasn't? I couldn't hear it anyways.

​@@NorthEastTravel1It was working towards the end of the video.

@@LAMtransport76 Oh yeah it was, Must have some problems registering some stops then. The 5A used to do that but now it seems fully calibrated properly.

@@NorthEastTravel1 To he honest I thought it were terrible when I got on it on the route 7 but it seems to perform decently on the dual carriageway.

@@NorthEastTravel1 I've got 2 more pieces of footage on this one. One between The Start of the A171 to Nunthorpe and one between Netherfields and Middlesbrough.

@@NorthEastTravel1 This, 1485, 1464 and 1468 are my favourite 61's at the moment.

@@LAMtransport76 My top 4 personal favourites are also 1464 and 1485, 1490 & 1492

@@NorthEastTravel1 1490 is incredibly whiney and Ive got a video of 1464 on the first 17 of the day which is at 18:35pm from Middlesbrough Bus Station to come at some point.

@@NorthEastTravel1 It was out for a period of time not too long ago and doesn't sound too healthy.

@@TheToneG273 I thought it was 1352 at Telford.

@@LAMtransport76It seems they converted to the Midlands scheme before entering service

Pulsars from Belmont. I know that 1437, 1465 and 1466 are already in service at Darlo.

@@LAMtransport76 Ahh yeah, I saw 1466 yesterday on a X66 in Boro. 1437 should go back to Redcar in my opinion. Same with 1431. May as well have the older ones out of Darlington and send them over and take some 61 plates from Stockton.

​@@NorthEastTravel1I saw 1437 on the X66 in Middlesbrough yesterday.

This is definitely one of the better ones in my opinion.

I saw it on the X3 yesterday while I was out.

@@LAMtransport76 I was out myself yesterday too. I got some footage of 2866, 1552 & a really messed up sounding 1446

@@NorthEastTravel1 I got 1569 which is just the average StreetLite, 7402 which was decent, 1424 which struggled on the X4 through Whitby, Easington and Loftus and 1567 which was really sluggish.

@@LAMtransport76 Nice ! I'm going to try and get most of these Ex Redcar Lites done before they / if they get transferred out. Also I do need todo the last Temsa 4725. I did get a clip of it a few weeks ago but the audio was messed up.

​@@NorthEastTravel1On Tuesday I recorded a Temsa on the X4, unfortunately it was 4723.

I had it on the X12 way before this and it was insane.

@@NorthEastTravel1 I've got 1552 coming up at some point and it wasn't great.

It was getting hailed as one if the best Lites at Stockton before getting sent to Redcar.

It's well beyond me how someone could even praise a StreetLite unless it sounds immaculate or doesn't rattle but there is people out there who like them somehow.

@LAMtransport76 why do u think Redcar got shot of there's nothing but constantly problems 🤣

@@omsi21323 I don't really but it's the worst for problems out of all of ANE's depots.

@@NorthEastTravel1 Relief 🤣.

@@LAMtransport76 I actually like them for some strange reason. I hope they replace them with something good tho. Not 08 or 09 plated vehicles.

​@@NorthEastTravel1I have no clue why people having started to say this all of a sudden because everyone used to collectively hate StreetLites like myself.

@@LAMtransport76 I've never hated them personally. The only thing I don't like is what Arriva allocated them to but it was nice to get a bus on a long route with leather seats.

@@NorthEastTravel1 Nah I was getting off at Dormanstown.

I've been on it a few times in the past couple of weeks.

@@NorthEastTravel1My first thought was to use the blasting cooling fans as the title.

Can't climb a hill , twice I've had it and both times ended up 30/40mins late

@@WilliamJefferson-ow3rkIt struggled a fair bit while hillclimbing which I didn't record.

@@NorthEastTravel1 I'm glad I got on at Stockton because I usually get on at Coxhoe on the X12.

@@MiracNotFound I quite like the sound of them but they all seem to be slow and have a sluggish tone to them.

1556 and 1560 sound similar but they're both even worse.

@@LAMtransport76 Also I did capture this one myself but for some reason my camera just wanted to stay out of focus for most of the trip.

@@NorthEastTravel1 The driver was even late and taking it very slow.

@@LAMtransport76 I hate when they do that. Purposely not step on it when they know they're late.
