The first renown 4840, Olympians and 8229 all withdrawn from Riverside (8220 remains in service)
Four remaining B9's (6114-6117) now in service with Percy Main.
5331 is shown at Riverside, 5333/5336 are shown at Peterlee, 5338 is with Stanley (5334/5335/5337 are shown as still at Percy Main)
5255 is transferred to Chester (5256 shows as still at Percy Main, SPD's 8239/8241 remain in service)
NexusBus solo SR 634 is shown at Riverside.
Chester darts 8237/8289 are withdrawn.
In reality, 8220 never made it to Riverside - it was withdrawn prior to Winlaton's closure (see photo
here) and has been sitting at the back of Hexham depot prior to disposal for about a month now (as shown
here).
All four B9TLs did indeed enter service today, much to my surprise... Not often Fleet Allocation gets it right on-time!
I've not yet downloaded the updated documents - is 5331 shown as branded "Blaydon Racers" or just plain red? If not, there's this week's fault! 5333 has not yet entered service, while 5336 is still at Saltmeadows. 5334 was still at Deptford earlier today. 5335/37 are still Percy Main-based (with 5335 being out in service today, not sure about 5337 though), so that is correct.
5256 was still at Percy Main this morning, but will try and get an update to check if it is to depart for CLS today.
634 will be the Solo SR for the 29, which was originally 625.
