4935 also on loan from Chester-le-Street to Washington, and 8246 is still on loan to Hexham from Riverside too.

Any Idea what service 4935 is on Dan.

Following the withdrawal of the 27X service at Riverside, MPD 547 has transferred to Deptford. It is working services 701 / 37 today.

Currently parked up in the depot - it will only be allocated if required.

I've just been looking at some pics and 1 pic shows 6124 painted in OK colours showing X21. In all other pics I have seen it's in the standard red livery. Confused.com

This was a digitially edited image, processed on Photoshop - it wasn't real.

I suppose this is very complimentary of the author of the image, if it could be perceived as real!

Ah rigch

Ah right. Thought it might have been something like that. Shame looked good ha

6124 is a plain red spare it won't be in ok colours

3943 is currently at Washington Galleries heading to Easington Lane, if aureolin still needs a photo.

I understand you say you're back to work, but to add to this, I've noticed 3943 seems to be allocated to the same board as of late, if this is of any help. It passes the Galleries at the following times:

07:43 to Easington Lane
08:44 to Newcastle
09:58 to Easington Lane
11:04 to Newcastle
12:18 to Easington Lane
13:24 to Newcastle
14:38 to Easington Lane
15:44 to Newcastle
17:03 to Easington Lane

and so on and so forth...

There is a set running board it should be allocated to, but I'm not sure if this tallies up with the times you gave.

0613 #92 (Wardley - Team Valley)
0700 #X1 (Newcastle - Easington Lane)
0813 #X1 (Easington Lane - Newcastle)
0925 #X1 (Newcastle - Easington Lane)
1033 #X1 (Easington Lane - Newcastle)
1145 #X1 (Newcastle - Easington Lane)
1253 #X1 (Easington Lane - Newcastle)
1405 #X1 (Newcastle - Easington Lane)
1513 #X1 (Easington Lane - Newcastle)
1625 #X1 (Newcastle - Easington Lane)
1748 #20A (Rainton Bridge - Houghton)

Never thought of that - thanks.

4935 looks to be having destination troubles. None of them are working, with a single led lit in the top left of the front.

Probably doesn't have the Washington destinations programmed into it so should only be allocated as a last resort (if thats what Dan said earlier)
