Transfer, which is why it has lost its nearside promotional advertisement and has received a (rather poor) touch-up repaint on this side. It transferred to Blyth in exchange for 1416 which has transferred to Darlington to provide an extra MAX-spec vehicle for services X26/X27 & X66.
1415 on 22
1416/26 on 11
2863 on 1/5A (0930 5a out of Darlington)
2851 on 12/12a
4807 is VOR at the minute at Faverdale, so Pulsars are deputising. I'm sure there's another one missing as well, possibly in MAN at Stockton, but unsure which one.

That 1/5a working is permanently allocated a Solo at the moment.
2860 also on 1/5 on the working behind 2863

That working of 1/5 is also guaranteed a solo unfortunately.
1312 and 1314 have now entered service I believe one of them is on 13s if anyone is interested


1312 on 13a/b in Darlington
1314 on 8/8a just left darlington

Something must have broke down on the 1/5 as 2860 started the day on 14 shuttle, the guy that I was with when I saw this was doing timing checks, and I remember finding the fleet number on my phone and it was on the 14s then 

2861 is still going strong on the x26 was doing the 26A tonight between darlington and catterick 
2852 is on X1 currently in Darlington
Sapphire 1516 has just replaced 1428 on the 1 at Faverdale and it is now heading for Bishop Auckland.
And to follow 1572's 22/64/64a yesterday (& 1573 the day before), 1569 is today on 63s

4520 was actually on the 52 ( is that me was is shocked that happened?)
Eco Green Gemini on X10/X11.
1446 on 1045 21A from Middlesbrough.

4649 has been towed away from Faverdale by Ian Bradley - at a guess it might be going for a new engine.
7485 is on the 22/64/64a.

Just leaving Middlesbrough Bus Station on the 22 now.

It is still in the standard livery.

Saw it at 1325 on the 22, so will it come straight back to Middlesbrough as a 22?
They'll need to take it off by Redcar bus station as if it goes much past that it will be an open topper [WINKING FACE]

Damn! That's my hopes of getting another photo of that gone then.
1560 providing some sparkle on the 63 today.
Just got off 7515, which is providing MAXimum replacement to X21 passengers

Meanwhile we had 1451 on the 5's as it had to replace 1555 this morning at 1005. 1512 was already on in place of 1553.
