but why through Hartlepool

Part of the course is a 45 minute drive so Hartlepool fits well into the time scale.

27723 is covering for a branded vehicle on Es
Get There With The E's on the X34

I thought the whole batch of 27723 - 27740 were supposed to be allocated to Es regardless of branded or not as there aren't enough of them branded to match PVR. So effectivaley 27723 is a normal and not a rare occurence Is it not?

The PVR of the E1/E2/E6 is 16 and there are 18 ADL Enviro300s - 27723/24 are the unbranded spares.
Not particularly rare for unbranded spares to crop up on branded services but we tend to note these for the other operators so thought I'd note that one too.

To be honest in that case Dan. You would be better off reporting as rare any service other than the Es for these couple of vehicles to appear on. Even to appear on the X20 is rare. They are always on E routes

You're probably right, but just look at the fun and games down on Teesside!
I guess it's pretty 'odd' that a branded Enviro300 was on the X34 while an unbranded Enviro300 was on E1/E2/E6 though - albeit not particularly rare!

Yeah . was the same prior to the revamp of brand. She. It used to be the beach etc Only 27731 to 27740 were branded but no one ever reported 27723-27730 as rare workings then.
Hi dan. I have been told by a shields driver that the 39's and 22's are leaving at the end of July to be Replaced by 19 New Enviro 200's like 37143/144. Is this true. Regards Robin
