Apologies.

I think it started its trial on the 85/86 on Saturday so should be on there I believe.

Thanks for the info =)

The Streetlite WF was on the 82/82A in Birtley this morning when I passed around 07:20.

Which Prince Bishop Solar was on the 82 this morning, seen it been swapped over with a B7TL President at around 09:40am as I was getting on the X1 heading to work.

5211 - it was loaned to Washington for the morning run out (similar to 5213 at Chester-le-Street recently) before going to Saltmeadows for repaint.

Looks like 4903s transfer to Stanley is a bit more permanent than a loan since it has been noted on the official GNE allocation document which doesnt usually happen. Could this see off 547?

It's due to be withdrawn in a few weeks (once all 22 new Streetlites enter service at Deptford).

Quite likely to see out its last days in service at Stanley rather than return to Deptford following loan, which is why it has been noted on Go North East's Fleet Allocation document as transferring to Stanley.

Shouldn't speed up the process of 547 being withdrawn as 4903 is required due to vehicle shortages.

Suprised to see 8267 go to Washington to replace 8270, thought a Scania might of moved over instead.

Like for like replacements for now.

8267 is in better condition mechanically than 8270.
