1906 has just recently been tested for another year so I'm guessing early next year before it comes back
Ashington's 7506 is currently working out of Durham......in X21/X22 livery. Couldn't have sent 7518?
StreetLites 1579/80 now have revised 35 branding, "every 20 mins", reflecting the frequency decrease.
Delays of up to 30 minutes in Darlington out of North Road due to road works at the white horse

Don't suppose you know how long the Roadworks in this area are expected to last?
EDIT: Never mind, just over heard the depressing answer to that question
EDIT 2: Roadworks at Thinford as well slowing things right down.

I think it's on loan to Belmont, they should've sent 7518 instead.

I was on that 3 hours ago on an X22 from Newcastle…
Edit: Definitely not there today - Just passed it on an X21 out of Newcastle.

I second that.
7804 back from MAX refurbishment.
7506 was returned to Ashington on Sunday morning (I was only notified of its use there the night before), I've asked earlier this week why it was down there and it was at DiagTest, but Durham then decided to use it...
At present all of 7501-9, 7518 and 7522-8 are at Ashington.
