652 has been loaned to Deptford and is on the X36.

It actually had a minor collision with 681 after it left on the 13:03 X36 from park lane, with a small amount of the livery being scratched.

652 has transferred to Deptford, whilst 9096 is in use at Percy Main.

Provides Deptford with a minibus for the next three weeks, given that they're two short following the withdrawal of the two MPDs usually allocated to the X36.

This really suits the blue better than the gold, but does this mean the 35 is leaving the See It, Do It brand as the places served only goes to Castletown and not boldon as it would if the 35 was still going to be included in the brand, or is it just because these are based at chester and wont be on the 35 route.

I think those make it 7/18 to arrive so far, they seem to be arriving in batches now, so hopefully the rest are here before the 1st July, and that leads straight in to the delivery of the B5TL's for the X9/X10.
