Ahh, I see. I thought it was more presuming rather than an actual fact. At least Durham is getting 2 Gemini's in exchange.

RE: Arriva North East
Further news regarding the Solo/MPD swap and other details on the moves have now been revealed on arrivane Yahoo Group:

1766/7 will be repainted out of 'Great...Park & Ride' Green/Black livery into new livery prior to transfer to Darlington. Likewise, two Solos will be branded the Park & Ride - whether this is being painted into the same livery as on the MPD or just branding on standard livery isn't know at the time
7521 has moved north already, but to Jesmond rather than Ashington, being used today on the 900 (Haymarket-Regent Centre).
4501/8 are on-loan to Blyth today on the X13

More from the arrivane Yahoo Group with some 'reserve' movements, in the form of 1709/14 being at Ashington. 1709 was on the 30 (credit to Lee Wardle) and 1714 on the 34 (credit to David Allen).

I would think that the new Great Park... and Ride will be uniform with other brands so will wear vinyls over the top of the interurban livery. It will then tie in with the recent liveries that have been introduced.

I said more details later.

The closure of these stops is to do with the work on the High Street. From Monday, work starts on moving the bus stops from outside the Post Office to further over with the taxi rank moving in the other direction. The stops outside the Post Office are not affected for now, but as such the following changes are being made (more details will be included once the map and other stuff are on-line):

All services (X66 Middlesbrough-bound only, see below) will use one of the 4 temporary stops being installed in the lay-by currently home to Stands 6-8. Stand 9 will also be used.
X66 Darlington Bound will be moving to a temporary stop on Bridge Road just passed the National Express stop.

Don't forget - if you're in the Stockton area (or planning a visit to Teesside in the next 40 weeks), don't forget that today is the start of Phase 1 of Stockton High Street South Regeneration. And, as such, stand allocations have been changed
