The latest repaint in Newcastle is E400 19441, seen looking rather shiny on service 1 (if I remember right) earlier.
Sunderland MAN 22453 has also be re-painted this week is also looking very shiny. Several of Sunderland's buses have had partial repaints over the last few weeks- just having the red freshened up- 22664,34609,22736 35187

Slightly bizarre - surely this must be top of the list to go when the new buses arrive in a few months??
Not necessarily, theres only 17 MANs getting replaced out of 33. Some of the T/V reg MANs are probably in a worse state.
Sunderland 34610 replaced 35161 on 8s today - with the replacement occurring at 1330.
E400H NK11 DHJ was on a Chapel Park-bound 63 tonight. Leaving Barrack Road around 1915. Is this normal, or is it just the 12s the Hybrids work on to?
There was a rumour the Designlines were being sold. Obviously didn't happen.
Reckon they're the only vehicle in there to still be in one piece.
Speaking of which, what engine is/was in 33126?
The Designlines were sold, I believe to a company who wanted to convert them. Unfortunately this never happened and they subsequently got sold for scrap.
