Not unusual to see one of the training vehicles as far north as Morpeth.

Likewise, I've past 7080 in Teesdale (Stockton) before.

I also liked Blaydon Racers buses being yellow when I rode one in July. Seeing as those ex-Oxford B10BLEs had in many cases been refurbished, I wonder where they had gone now that Citaros are taking over?

I am sure that the Volvo B5LHs are excellent machines, but I feel a sense of nostalgia for its frequent service operated by ex-London Volvo B7TL-Presidents!

The ex-Oxford B10's are now at Percy Main for service 17.

Thanks Citaro. This in itself is good news as the SPDs previously on this route had such a ghastly moquette!

Are the B10's on the 17 getting branded, just because of the fact that they are all yellow and haven't been made red yet

Ex. 'Fab Fifty-Seven' 5166 was also painted yellow.

Yes - They should be branded by January, in yellow, rather than red.
