That has been the case for years now though, with pretty much all major operators.
I didn't mean other operators. I mean other type of businesses
5435 has failed in park lane but now back on the route 11 minutes late

See fleet list here for an idea of where we're at with deliveries. The news is now up to date (for Go North East anyway!)
There's roughly a one-week turnaround on all new vehicles being delivered - so it all depends on how many are delivered that week.
5430 arrived at Belfast Docks this morning (will probably go across to Heysham on tonight's sailing) and 5431/38 are both undergoing PDI at the moment. I would expect that there's a high likelihood that these three will all enter service by this time next week.
Worth noting that 5438 is the first Euro 6 Daimler-engined Streetlite for Go North East. The rest of the batch prior to this example are all Euro 5 Cummins.

Another Euro 5 Cummins, according to the caption..! Must have gone for a full batch of Euro 5 Cummins for simplicity, instead of having the back end of the batch as Euro 6 Daimler.
Have 4905 ,24,68,70 been withdrawn or will they return once the crickets over as there hasnt been much mention of them?

Yes, I understand that, but my point is that it has been a common occurrence for a while in this industry specifically.

With Sunday services for 2 days, I don't think there's been any need for them.

They haven't been required for the past two days due to the PVR decrease. They may be kept if there are any shortages, but as it's the school holidays and scholars services don't operate, shortages shouldn't really be as big as they are during term time.
Been informed by a Yardman at Chester-le-Street that the B10BLEs are due to be sent back to Saltmeadows Road today, as they're no longer required.

Ok thanks for letting us no
6020 replaced 6064 this morning on the 21 due to a defect with the compressor. Volvo attending to see it.
Is 6024 a permanent vehicle at stanley, or a loan for shortages?

It is only temporary, covering for 3873 which was withdrawn due to its MOT expiring. It will be withdrawn when a suitable vehicle becomes available.
How's the new 33 doing to the docks? What about the 36 at Silksworth?
