Noted both 10000 and 27510 working service 62/3 today in Newcastle. Wonder if this marks the next phase of 10000 being evaluated on Walkergate's routes in comparison with 60-reg deckers, as it seems to have spent all its time up here so far on service 38. Also noted Carlisle's 20944 on service 685 deputising for a proper coach.

Olympian 16831 replaced 22195 on the 58 (22195 had been swapped onto 58s off 38s for 22020) before being replaced by 22658 while 22195 went onto the 13. Sister 16839 was on the 12/14/34 until it failed in the Bus Station and was replaced by 21104. The extra 36s today were 16835/6.

37-branded MAN 22062 was on the 58 today, and is currently out on 52s this evening. Trident 17026 became the first example to appear on something other than schools or the extra 36s by appearing on the 38 alongside 16835 (a replacement for 22657 which appeared to have suspention issues while on there). Oddly however, while 17026 was replaced by 24112, 16835 remained on until the end of the duty (1848 in Middlesbrough).

The working changes at the beginning of the month also affected the evening Middlesbrough operations - 12/610/611s. Where previously one worked off 12/34, 1 worked off 11s, 2 worked off the 38s and 1 started light from the depot (and was Enviro300 worked), now 2 work off 12/34s, 1 works off 11s, 1 works off 12/14/34s and the one that starts from the depot still operates.
