good news for Darlington indeed, a few year ago the majority of the old Stagecoach buses where high floor with old dennis darts but now their is many improvements, not to mention the new buses for the route 7 coming later on this year. 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.

Hopefully the prestiges that run on routes from Middlesbrough to Redcar/Saltburn will get replaced, i don't mind the prestiges but they aren't the best for an express. At least the X93 will now be double decker service, do you know where the scania omnicities will go?

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.

The 43 is allocated Deckers though, it's still currently allocated for anything and I think it will stay that way considering N183 OYH is on again today.

They have already gone to Darlington.

The Enviro400s at Whitby at present are 7501/4/5/7. 7505/7 will be swapped for 7502/3 as soon as possiable.

Stockton will likely be using a Redcar MPD on Saturday while one of 1769/71/2 is on-loan to Redcar for the full Easter weekend Moorsbus operation.

Enviro400 7502 was seen in Middlesbrough tonight on an X93 so looks like that one has now made it to Whitby

RE: Arriva North East
MPD 1757 is on the 93/X93 today - barely a week into double decker operation and Redcar put an MPD out on one of their workings.

It looks like the one that has returned to Ashington is 7505 as 7507 has been sighted on the X93 today.

RE: Arriva North East
As was reported last week Dennis Trident 7435 is back at Durham, but 7464 still remains based at Durham also. Sister 7461 has been transferred but they are the only fleet movements I've noticed so far.
