It'll never happen of course.

As mentioned by a member of busesnortheast on Facebook Former Yorkshire tiger omnilink 760 has now been delivered to Darlington but is not currently in service
With Yarm Fair taking place over the forthcoming week, Stockton will be exchanging 5 (or maybe 6 - who actually knows) Pulsars for the same number of Solos to work the 7/7A when Yarm High Street is closed with an additional vehicle required for the 17 shuttle on Saturday. So far, 1469 has moved to Darlington. The other vehicles expected to go out on-loan from Stockton are 1418/23/26/68/70.

Stockton Streetlite 1554 has moved to Redcar ‘on loan’ for the next week or so to work a 5A board which Redcar are covering.
The reason for this is to free Stockton drivers up to cover an X66/X67 board for Darlington - with 1473 moving to Stockton on loan to operate the board
(31 Oct 2021, 10:34 pm)mb134 1407 and 2810 should both now be at Ashington ready for the 35 PVR increase and the 58 route transfer which both come into play tomorrow. I'd expect to see 1407 used mainly on the X14/20, with the B7s and 7510 being the 35 allocation.1407 is the odd one out at Ashington. Does it not qualify to be allocated to the 58 instead of shoving it on the X14. Like I said its an odd bus at Ashington (it being the only single deck long bus there)
