7501 which is on loan to Blyth covering for 7624 on trial at Whitby. It's not been out much, though!

That's what I was getting at... It's actually out in service.

Haha yes I think its only been out twice since its been there, this would be the 3rd time I've seen it mentioned...

Two of the Whitby based batch are back at Arriva Bus & Coach being sorted out I understand! One has been spotted at a place in Leeds

I was on the X66 Gateshead-bound at the time... Mr. Houston showed me his photograph of it, so I thought I'd mention it here! Tongue

I see :p haven't seen Mr Houston for a while to be honest. I assumed he's spending most of his time at "Jarra" ASDA Wink

After 1441's appearance on Wednesday, 1452 is today on the 17a. It replaced 4039 between that departing Stockton at 0926 and the arrival in Middlesbrough at 1005

It would indeed. The Darts are getting around that East Durham network quite a lot lately.

Definitely, though there are more of them around I suppose so that will naturally happen. I do wonder what they are using on the 64 though.

Solos have been on the 64 a lot recently, which is really fun at peak times!

The Darts have been on pretty much everything recently.

7501 'Sightseeker' out today on either X10 or X11, seen at Cramlington.
Maybe it's still in the area on 'extended exchange' whilst 7624 undergoes any repairs after it's accident ? It was supposed to be a two week exchange ,from early February.

7624 has been back on the road since last week at Redcar. I passed it in Guisborough earlier still working X93s...

Stockton had a few rare workings today with 1920 started the day with me on 21A (dont ask me why it was allocated though!) but I kicked it off when I got back. It ended up on 15s
Prestige 4063 replaced Pulsar 1460 on 5/5A, having itself been replaced by Cadet 1914 on 17s presumably to release 4063 to go on 5s.
