Id also expect some gem 2s. The pair of Stanley gem 2s lasted all night plus its Sunday so I guess some fab 56 or TVT are spare for today.

Thinking about it, the two AD122 solo's will be heading back to Hexham next month so its likely they'll be temporarily withdrawn in the next month or so for any work needed before they relaunch on the AD122.

So the 2 Solo's may end up fitting in to where 635/636 are allocated atm.

What are 635/636 usually allocated to when the AD122 is not operating?

It depends, they're normally used as float vehicles, atm they're allocated to Deptford and Riverside according to Go North East's fleet allocation PDF.

Where do I find the Go North East fleet allocation PDF? 636 was on the 74 a few days ago (I posted it on here in the rare/odd workings thread), which I guess is operated by Hexham? I just read on here 635/636 are going back to Hexham, but I thought Hexham already had them for the AD122 and the 74.

635 and 636 are both in a float/reserve capacity this winter season.

Officially, 635 is in use at Deptford (although presently VOR for annual PSV test preparation), while 636 is in use at Riverside. In reality, the latter has been used at Hexham in recent weeks, while the "Tynedalexpress" branded Citaros undergo annual PSV preparation/test.

Unlike previous years they haven't been put to a specific use this year, so don't need to be replaced on paper.

6106 was seen heading down the A1 this afternoon so presumably means 6103 has now returned from refurbishment.

Does anyone know what morning runs 5482-85 operate?

Not a big fan of the front styling, a bit too asymmetric for my liking.
But I must say it looks good in the colour they have it in
