Operating the last Arriva M2/M3 working of the evening from Washington Galleries at 23:15 to Concord before making the return journey as far as Washington Galleries before heading back to Durham for the Night
Rare workings from Stockton today included MPD 1769 on X6 and MPD 1711 on 28/30, the latter becoming the first one to work a 28B journey and quite possibly the last given the plan of transfers?
Rare to see one mini Dart on Middlesbrough services never mind 2. 1711 had replaced Prestige 4052 earlier in the day.
DAF ALX300 4097 has transferred from Ashington to Redcar and saw use on service 63 today, this now means all 8 Yorkshire ALXs now finally in use at Redcar.

This should have been done when the 22 took over from the 24, the way the 22 goes into Oakerside now has nearly caused several crashes, the roundabout is very tight to get a bus around.

Some unusual workings from last night were Whitby ALX200 Dart 1103 making a trip on service 5 to Middlesbrough, while Prestige 4002 turned up on the X93.
Durham were using Prestige 4051 on the evening X1s.
This morning saw a demonstration in the Market Square in Darlington involving Arriva Wales ADL E400 4402 (J200ABW) which was there to demonstrate the Sapphire brand which will be introduced to service 7 later in the year. This was in conjunction with the transport minister Norman Baker being in the region, visiting various transport projects in Middlesbrough, Stockton, Shildon and Darlington on Ecocity 4803.
