Hopefully they're back where they should be? lol
Redcar don't really have a need for mini Darts (bar Whitby's allocation) so hopefully the changes across the summer will address this.

Sure 1737 was on Whitby Service 94.
7502 was on the 81/81A this afternoon though.
4720 & 4651 were on the X93.

Must have been 1739 I saw in Guisborough this afternoon then? Was certainly an MPD.

1739 was last reported transferred to Darlington however I'm 90% certain I passed it on Skelton bypass on Monday operating an X3A. Of course it may have been 1737! In which case your MPD could be 1743?

Is there any reason why Ashingtn seem to prefer to use the DB250's on the X21 than the E400's?

The 09 reg E400's have been on the X18 lately, not sure why. One was on the X20 the other day too...

A number of the E400s are away being refurbished at present which is probably why they're seeing an increased number of DB250s on there.

Thought 29/29a was allocated Prestige? Not sure though about the 5/5a , always thought Stockton to be pretty strict with their allocations? Should maybe do the same exercise I did with Redcar but I'd struggle recalling the fleet Stockton has?

Only specific Prestiges should be allocated to 29s though. 4007 was a changeover on 5s for 1459 I think, 4069 started the day on 21A so that must have been a changeover too.

Love to know the answer myself. Even MG didn't know when I saw him yesterday. The Prestiges in question are 4001, 4006, 4007, 4062, 4063 and 4069.
