Due to a reduction in spare vehicles at Deptford and an upcoming PVR increase at Chester-le-Street on the Ushaw College DU2 service until Easter 2017, Scania L94UB/Wright Solar 4965 (NL52 WVW) transferred from Deptford Depot to Chester-le-Street last September. As 4965 (NL52 WVW) no longer forms part of Chester-le-Street's fleet, this vehicle has instead transferred from Chester-le-Street to Riverside, as the extra vehicle is no longer required on the Ushaw College DU2 service.
