(23 Feb 2016, 7:47 am)S813 FVK Ah right. I was lucky to see all 3 but i saw 4929 at the bottom of South Moor, then passed what looked like 4930 (could make out what i thout was an ETN in the reg and no, it wasnt 4896) on what appeared to be a 78 that i thought was Stanley operated (07:55 from Consett). Then obviously, i saw 3878 coming in just as i was about to walk into the building at school.

Just a quick update on this:

This morning, i passed the same journey and 5401 was allocated meaning that this journey is indeed operated by Chester-le-Street. This therefore confirms that 4930 was not on loan to Stanley. The journey around that time when the B10s were on there was operated by Stanley depot so automatically thought that it was still operated by Stanley.

Stanley don't need another MPD, we'd just get more complaints about it working peak time journeys on the 6/X70/X71.

Why does Deptford need a extra MPD anyway, if its not replacing anything?

No-one's told me what 559 is for, was just guessing as there's only a couple of routes it could be for.

It couldn't be used on the 700, as it's only Euro 4. Service 700 is contractually required to be operated by a Euro 5 vehicle.

I think it could act as a spare for the 38/238 or possibly 33/33A/39.
