Stockton operate the first two from Middlesbrough on weekdays and the two Hartburn starts on Saturdays.

One of their boards ends around 6pm and the other stays out, eventually operating the last journey from Darlington Monday to Saturday.

The 19:25 X66 from Middlesbrough to Darlington and 20:30 X66 from Darlington are run by a Pulsar  that drops off the 29A, I think it is?

Very true. I think they were dealer stock and just had awful headreasts added to the bog standard seats. Put to shame by the Coastliners, not to mention by the Bristol MWs and REs I travelled to Scarborough on in the 60s/70s!

The seating is different to the dealer stock B9's that Go North East received for the Red Kite - https://www.flickr.com/photos/adammalarkey/

So they must of been changed prior to entering service.

Nope, the Go North East quartet are the odd ones out - all of East Yorkshire's 2014/15 Dealer-spec B9s have the same seats as 7401-6 (just without headrests and are cloth trimmed rather than e-leather)

Service update: We have recently had a few acts of vandalism, mainly broken windows, on our service 64a in the Bankfields area of Eston. In the interests of safety to both our drivers and passengers any further instances of vandalism in this area will result in the service being removed and diverted away until we feel that the service can safely be restored to normal.
We will update on social media if we need to remove the service.

Gazette jumping to conclusions.

Confirmed on Facebook that the 64a will continue to serve Bankfields on an evening for now, unless there are anymore incidents.

Is 4802 still impounded? And is there any news on the EcoCity who's rear was destroyed in the crash, is this under repair or is it a scrap job?

4802 is also still impounded due to the police not been finished with it yet and also the court case been ajourned for another 7 months as more inspections are needed
