(30 Nov 2019, 1:25 am)S830OFT 1515 has had its Plug Sockets removed and replaced with USBs.

Hopefully this has been done following numerous complaints about how most of the Plugs weren't working, especially on the Redcar StreetLites where I never had a single journey where the plugs worked.
I think the drivers have to switch on the plug sockets in the older streetlites, every single time the engine starts. Never had a working one on the 22 unless someone requested it.

(30 Nov 2019, 9:11 pm)GNE6312 All split up then. I had 7558 on the X8 and it was amazing.
A lot better than the Gemini 2s & pulsar 2s on the X8. Wish Blyth were getting some.
What E400s are we getting off Yorkshire. I know we have Ex 1908 (7557), Ex 1909 (7558) & Ex 1911 (7559 or 7560?) . Is anymore coming or is it just the 3 we have.

1911 developed issues while in Middlesbrough before operating the X12 at 1525 (meaning that trip didn't run between Middlesbrough and Durham, and according to Bus Times, 1331 replaced it for the Newcastle and return to Durham left on that board). Stockton's fitter was called out to check it over, and it ended up, once fixed, being taken back to Stockton depot. Whether Durham collected it last night or it's still at Stockton I don't know.

As for how many are coming from Yorkshire, we're due 6 - 1908-13, which judging by the renumbered 1908/9 will be 7557-62. 1913 (7562) is also currently working out of Durham depot alongside 7557 and 1911 (7560). The remaining pair should transfer once the remaining Streetdecks for Yorkshire are delivered and Heckmondwike receive Wakefield's Sapphire E400s.

Few fleet changes as of yesterday morning

1431 is on-loan to Darlington, releasing 2863 to Whitby which is likely to be there long-term as cover until a replacement is sourced for 2828 which burnt out while on 95s yesterday

It must have been 2863 I saw heading along the Parkway yesterday afternoon. 
Assumed it was off to Redcar, rather than Whitby.

With service 57 being extended to Hartlepool, it looks like the PVR will increase by 2 from what it already is...

Also apparently the X93 will be using ADL Enviro 400s opposed to the Volvo B7TLs this year, can anyone confirm this?

The bus tracking as 7475 is the new ADL Enviro 400 from London in Arriva Sapphire livery.

Hope not. They couldn't cope last time they tried them.

The overall PVR at Durham looks as though it will be going up by 3 due to the extension of the 57, rerouting of the 57A and the 56/86 no longer interworking with them. If my calculations are correct, from January there'll be 6 buses on the 56/86 and 6 buses on the 57/57a circuits compared to 9 across them all currently. However, from the same date the PVR at Blyth looks to be going down by 1 thanks to the X7/8 starting to interwork with the X9, so an overall increase of 2.
