They are 13 reg buses, so it should be sometime in 2018
Can anyone please confirm if 7424/5 have entered service at Durham yet ?
is it true that the 472 has to have a MPD that is fitted with wifi or is it optional

That is correct, it can only be 1775, 1792, 1800 or 1801 allocated.

Looking smart. Though for an official facebook page it's a terrible photo.

Probably just wanted to get a good enough shot of the logo and places served I'd imagine. Hopefully if they do anymore promotion for the service they'll use some better photos, ideally them in service.
