Does anyone know what the score is with the last new decker due to go into service at Ashington, namely 7570. Is it here yet, has it had a mishap, or it is acting as a demonstrator for the next location due new deckers - a bit like when Merseyside 4713 spent some time at Ashington earlier this year ?

It needed some mechanical work done before going into service.

 Definitely in service today, and probably yesterday as well. Saw it at Haymarket on 1800 X22 service to Ashington tonight.

Notably 7570 is down in Blackpool this weekend for the Bus Driver of the Year competition
