(17 Feb 2017, 2:22 pm)Michael Will the Fab 56 B9's be used on the 901 this weekend? (as the metro is off between South Hylton and Sunderland)Spare vehicles are used for metro replacement from almost any depot. Omnidekkas are always preferable as they can hold 6 push chairs. 6133 is a usual suspect along with 6016, 3966/7 and 3963. Given this was true of the FLE->Monkseaton and a few other replacements, I'd say it's not as depot specific as you'd think.
