7435 is back at Durham after its short term return loan to formr home Jesmond, making a rare appearance on the X1 this afternoon
4006 was a changeover on the 27/27a while 4042 was a changeover on the 5, unlike sister 4052 which seems to have been on since start of service
And the start of the regular Enviro400 operation on the X93/93 with 7504

darlington ecocitys are in service this morning

One of the new Hybrid's from Blyth spotted at a bus stop at Seaton Sluice today, on the route of the 308 (unfortunately did not get fleet number)- I guess it was on driver familiarisation, as it was displaying 'Sorry not in service' on the screen. No passengers, just a guy in a hi-vis talking to the driver.

Hopefully some of the ghatly prestiges will be gone by this time next year too

The ecocitys should have replaced the last remaining prestiges from Darlington to Redcar/Reserve.

I saw one of these in service from a distance this morning, crossing Benfield Road about 1020. It had passengers on both decks and was carrying 'Coastliner 308' livery.

NK13 AZA and NK13 AZB have entered service seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/williamsonm/8592432705/in/photostream and here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/emdjt42/8592000751/in/photostream
I saw NK61 EBL replace N164 VVO on the Durham's 43 yesterday so presumably the movements stated on the allocation have come to fruition as well.

I wouldn't get your hopes up for that being a regular allocation - 7620 has transferred as an extra for the X1/X2 to allow four Geminis to operate the route at all times. The ALX400-bodied DAFs will replace the Scanias so more likely those on the 43.

4 Geminis? The reason for 7620 coming was to operate it with 5 when they're all available for service...

Ah, my mistake. Even so, it means the 43 will be the home for the Tridents and the DAFs.
