Pretty rare working today saw me take Cadet 1904 (W304PPT) to Peterlee, unfortunately I couldn't get a photo while I had it so had to make do with one in Stockton later in the day - see here
The Scania Omnicities are continuing their tour of the Teesside network, seeing use on services 5A, X6, 15 etc today.

Further to my post on Monday... Dart SLF 1103 and 1104 have arrived at Redcar depot today, along with Temsa 4704, all from Thorntons who have been refurbishing them. The other 3 Darts are also due at Redcar. Withdrawn are 1719, 1720 and 4008.

Stockton based DAF Prestige 4007 (S893ONL) was spotted back on the road today on service 7 following its fire around 2 weeks ago.

Another unusual working saw Cadet 1915 on the 15 in the afternoon.

Unusual / noteworthy workings today included:
Mini Dart 1798 on X66 for Darlington, joined by refurb Dart 1308
Stockton meanwhile had 27 branded Pulsar 1449 have a trip to Whitby on service 5.
Also on service 5, working for Whitby, was Prestige 4051, on loan from Durham. The other loan, MPD 1793 was again found on service 4.
Tonight, Stockton had Pulsar 1458 on the 627s which "replaced" Cadet 1915, 1458 having been on the 5 through the day. 627s work off 17A/B's so not usually see a Pulsar! Also, Durham were using an ALX400 bodied DAF on the 2215 X1 departure from Middlesbrough, having had Prestige 4068 on there during the day!

Rare working from Stockton in the form of Prestige 4062 on short 27s.

And 1756 has just done half a 9 from Overfields to cover 1443.

I saw 4659 NK05 GXO on the 7 on Sunday and it has finally had its 63 branding removed (most of it anyway).

2859 is the most recent Solo to acquire the new advertisement for Lindisfarne Gospel. (danielgrahamm)

A red, Arriva bus (was driving so didnt get full details) but think it was an Alx 400 was being towed North on the A1 this morning.
I was heading in opposite direction as it joined the motorway from the Darlington/Newton Aycliffe junction

After my trip to Peterlee/Middlesbrough/Darlington/BAuckland and Durham there has been quite a few photos added of arriva buses including the EcoCity's at Darlington. Which can be viewed on this link.
