No, given the B5LHs fuel the same way as a Diesel-engined bus. As for number of Hybrids vs PVR, there is actually enough for 1 spare given the PVR of the 308 is 9 (Every 15 minutes, round trip of 2 hours 8 minutes).

Also it appears that the spare sees regular use on the X11 now with a few sightings being made.

Has it just been freshened up so it is still in old livery Gary?

I have noted 7462 twice recently working for Jesmond, including today on service 45, so it seems to have been spared the journey south to Durham up to now.

Also, Temsa 4717 was still under repair at Smiles, Brunswick today, in the company of two Arriva Denmark open-top double deckers.

From my findings I think all the Scania N113DRB / East Lancs E Types have gone as I haven't seen them since which is very rare unless they have left the fleet. I have seen all the Palatine II's in service as well except from R206 CKO and R207 CKO. Has anyone else seen any of the missing vehicles for shed light onto the vehicles at Durham that have been withdrawn?

Should've said a fresh coat in the new livery
