Believe it should be back out shortly, was waiting for a part.
Was Morrisons not stocking enough Duracell Batteries
I just had DM01-MD on the X7 before - its acceleration was something else. Again, I hope the trial is successful and we see some orders.
The BYD Double Deckers for Arriva North East have appeared to have arrived at Southampton Docks.
I have heard Redcar are due some EV’s soon for the 63 service. Any truth in this?

That all changed - the funding for the Redcar vehicles was redirected to Darlington for their town fleet after a review.

Aye I thought that’s what I had originally heard, but I’ve heard another little thing that apparently Redcar’s 63 and Darlington’s 2 are due EV’s very soon.

That was the original plan - 15 for Redcar for the 63 and 7 for Darlington for the 2. It's now entirely an order for Darlington - 7 full size singles for the 2 and 14 midi-sized vehicles for the Commercially-operated Town Network (that being the 3, 4 and 9/10/13 cycle).

Not just Redcar Tees Valley are suppopsed to be getting 24 brand new Evoras next year so all of them will be spread out between Stockton, Darlington & Redcar so I'm guessing each depot will recieve 8 Evoras.

Yes these are all of the Durham ones.
All of the Blyth ones are currently stored around Blyth, Durham and Darlington depots
