At the time of the photograph being taken, the vehicle was awaiting the new company logos to be applied.

Still without destination display equipment, and Vario KF52UAN appeared on the 87A/87B cycle today:

Has been used on 225 and 271 all week... Due to be replaced by another example of the same batch this coming week I understand! Another Leyland Olympian has been purchased too, not sure on the registration yet.

I'm i in the right area?

New into the fleet is Mercedes Vario DE04XEZ - now repainted all over red and should have been getting fitted with a Hanover LED front destination today ready to go on the road next week. This should see T445WWT withdrawn.
John Watson of Guisborough are covering the 223 service from Linthorpe to Prior Pursglove until further notice.

Fresh out of the paintshop is G303FWC ex-NWFB (Hong Kong) Dennis Condor. DP92F

New in at Stagecarriage, Middlesbrough is 1970 Leyland Leopard Plaxton Supreme IV Rebody.
Latterly known as SNC366X with Mayne.

With thanks to John The-Stig Atkin.

New in at Stagecarriage is FJ06GHB, Volvo B12B Caetano Enigma, from Lewis Travel, Central London. DAF SB3000 Vanhool K857JSA has now left the fleet, in exchange for FJ06GHB.

Probably worth mentioning that FJ06GHB was once part of the Veolia fleet at Hetton, moving on to Yourbus when they took over.
It was used on a on emergency rail replacement run yesterday to Whitby.

Anyone know what the usual allocation of the 87A/87B is?

Almost always Vario DE04XEZ on there Tom. R556LGH is usually used as the lunchtime bus (obviously not in school holidays).

Stagecarriage have a president! Not sure about the reg but if its on the 86 tomorrow I'll get to know it.

86 is run by PSV North East, Ian Peacock (Continental Coaches, Tees Valley) latest venture. The current vehicle is Olympian R319WVR....

Worth mentioning, B12B FJ06GHB took the lead for 'Rarest Independent Working of the Year' yesterday by covering the 1200 87A after Vario DE04XEZ developed a fault. It was replaced by B10M R895XVM. Photo @ John Atkin

Just a minor change to cut some cost out of the holidays.

Confirmation from John Atkin is that the normal 76/87 vehicle - Vario DE04XEZ - is off for MOT this week, therefore the Trident will be on the working for the whole week.

What normally does 271

Usually Vario KF52UAE is allocated to the 271 although B10M R952XVM was operating it one day last week.
