All vehicles in the fleet with the 'Northern' fleet name which aren't scheduled to be withdrawn/repainted in the near future will have these vinyls removed.

New service 11 timetable available here.
The PVR is 8 vehicles, and there are now 8 Scania L94s at Percy Main (two yet to be repainted blue).

Noted a Washington Merc being driven by a driver (as opposed to a fitter), scooting past Washington Services and down the A194 (M) earlier NIS.
Guessing he was dropped out somewhere and was being sent north to start a trip.

If it is true, I'm sure it's not random. There tends to be a bit of thought goes into these things.

Will it stay at Chester-Le-Street or migrate to Riverside with the rest of the batch?
The U1/DU2 contract was only for a few months, hence why Arriva didn't take it. The closure of Ushaw College to an extent means there is no need for the service apparently although the University are apparently in talks with another operator about a new service to commence when the Stockton accommodation moves to Durham in a few years.

Does anybody know which Quaylink Versa operated the Q3 journey that arrived back at Great Park at 18:14? It had a green advert on the rear (but i think it was said that two have the same rear ad?)

Bet the complaints will start coming in about it soon too
If it's the same style as the green arrow brand it will look decent on the blue imo
