Very much so, as Saturday is the last day before the major Arriva Northumbria Network changes, which marks the end for the ex-Go North East Volvo B10B/Alexander Striders, what remains of the P-reg Northern Countries Palatine 2-bodied Volvo Olympians and a large number of MPDs. There's also the major Go North Eats fleet changes that have happened since then (the Citaro bendies, 'Diamond' Citaros, rebraned routes etc).

Stagecoach wise, there's the R-reg Dart SLFs and the X34-branded MANs.

My plans are as followed:

Tomorrow (Friday): Visit to South Shields, North Shields, Whitley Bay, Four Lane Ends and Newcastle, after certain targets
Saturday: Visit to Morpeth, Ashington and Blyth to get the soon-to-be-withdrawn Olympains, Stirders and MPDs (MPDs that I don't get tomorrow)
