Could this be tracking as 2860?

Addington's 400MMC 7578 has been working Blyth services since yesterday (28th).

1479 is claiming to be on the 2 from Kirkhill to Blyth.

It's an Ashington vehicle now.

Ashington had ADL Enviro 400MMC number 7548 out on the 434 today, certainly gave the trees north of North Linton a good pruning, just as well it had a tree deflector. Seen here this morning in East Bedlington (according to various community signs) https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/53498944121

There was an Arriva VDL SB200 Wrightbus Pulsar sat in the layby just before the Seaton exit on the A19, around 10:45/11 heading Middlesbrough way. Couldn't remember the full plate but it began with CX58

Ohh nice. Could be anything to be fair. Could mean it maybe here to replace 1355 if it doesnt come back into service as people have said it has a high chance of not returning. It could also be a new training vehicle. Could also be going to Stockton for Spare or maybe even coming up for a repair. Hopefully its a transfer up though. Would be nice to see some Pulsar 1's around Teeside.

This has to be a first. Ashington don't have any of the long solos out on the 57/57A. Maybe (I hope) Ashington have came to the senses and finally realised the 57/57A can't handle being them anymore

More than likely just broken again. Checking Bustimes and the caveats.
2601 - Appears to have died on the Spine Road on Wednesday, never returned.
2602 - 434
2603 - 434
2852 - Came in last run Saturday, not out again
2853 - Appears to have died on Saturday in Bedlington
2854 - Appears to have limped through losing time big time, with it then running empty and running short from Bedlington Station and pulled off and assuming the ticket machine thrown into something else.
2859 - Appears to have gone wrong in Stakeford on Friday, before limping back to the depot.

Is that not a good thing? Passenger numbers increasing and route needing upgrading.
If this is the case I think this is the first route since COVID that has needed an upgraded (without being decreased during the pandemic, driver shortages or frequency reductions?) Happy to be corrected though....
