I saw pix of an Enviro400, a Pulsar 2 and believe there are some Gemini integrals in the area, but then saw a P reg Olympian-NC II on route X21! I had already decided to ride this route this coming Wednesday or Thursday.

Will be different Enviro400s from tomorrow, with 4 of the low-height ones from Darlington being at Ashington while 4 of Ashington's are at Redcar for the summer 93/X93.

The Enviro400 swap is also interesting, as I am travelling from Bishop Auckland to Darlington on Tuesday, potentially on route 1 or X1. So, I could end up riding opposite Enviro400s on route 1/X1 and X21 than had I come to the area a week earlier!

My priorities for the week are Tyne & Wear, south Northumberland, west Durham, as many Go North East types as is sensible, and time-permitting Hartlepool including Grand Central one way and Arriva route 22 the other.

Nope, the Enviro400s from Ashington are at Redcar for the 93/X93 while 4 of Redcar's Pulsars are at Darlington covering for the 4 Enviro400s from there going to Ashington. The 1/1b will most likely see a mix of the remaining 4 Enviro400s and the three Volvo Olympians during the summer.

Prestige 4069 has transferred from Durham to Stockton, today on the 7.

MPD 1734 has taken up its role on Westbuy Street Shuttle Bus 16 for the next month or so. After which it will be withdrawn.

1796 has been repainted and has moved to Ashington/Blyth as it was out on the 1 today. (not sure which depot operated the 1/2 from Blyth)

RE: Arriva North East
Gentlemen, can somebody kindly provide me with a list of all the MPD's (particularly V-DNL registered batch) with Arriva North East and their current status at whichever depot? Also, the examples which have gone for scrap already would be useful.

Thanks kindly in advance for help.
