Get the 30/31 and use Northern from Newcastle to Metrocentre. Transfers are valid on Northern between Sunderland and Metrocentre

Does anyone know when the Walkergate depot batch of E400MMCs are getting reapainted as Slatyfords are
What is happening with 36050 & 36197, as 36050 tracked in Peterhead on Wednesday

36197 is in service at Hartlepool, not tracking at present.
Does anyone know where 22581 is? Was on the back yard at Slatyford last I saw now it’s gone and not in engineering either. 22443 was taken by alpha the other day 22345 following soon wondering if that’s gone to scrap as well. Was meant to be going Stockton eventually.
I think 22581 has been scrapped according to bustimes and 22345 has been sold to a dealer called 'T Wigler' and to add to that I think 22409 has been scrapped aswell according to bustimes but I don't think it would be accurate.And unfortunately I don't know anything about what is happening with 22443.It is sad to see the ALX300s go so suddenly.

Currently near Tyne dock so it’s transferred over then. Would imagine the other 2 be joining in the coming days

E300 27740 working out of Sunderland today. Loan or perm transfer?

It looks temporary in my opinion. It could be a loan or could be permanent we never know

This was on loan to Shields as cover for the X34 until the deckers transferred from Walkergate Depot and has returned to Sunderland
Hopefully they haven't killed it, although I'm not holding much hope based on when I last saw it - has it still got the blue rear bumper?
