I certainly wasn't expecting it until MetroCentre next week.

So what the plan for 6000 going forward Dan?

Heard a few mentioning a coastal service between Sunderland and South Shields today.

Nothing set in stone just yet - it was surplus to requirements at East Yorkshire, so absorbed into the Go North East Special Events fleet for now. It will potentially be used on special events such as airshow, as well as community engagement events and private hire work.

My bet is on something through Seaham, though it couldn't follow the x7 route because of that low bridge, could it? 

The was a crowd at the front of 6000 when we hopped on, so apologies for not spotting you, Dan.
