Transfer, which is why it has lost its nearside promotional advertisement and has received a (rather poor) touch-up repaint on this side. It transferred to Blyth in exchange for 1416 which has transferred to Darlington to provide an extra MAX-spec vehicle for services X26/X27 & X66.

4807 is VOR at the minute at Faverdale, so Pulsars are deputising. I'm sure there's another one missing as well, possibly in MAN at Stockton, but unsure which one.

That 1/5a working is permanently allocated a Solo at the moment.

That working of 1/5 is also guaranteed a solo unfortunately.

Something must have broke down on the 1/5 as 2860 started the day on 14 shuttle, the guy that I was with when I saw this was doing timing checks, and I remember finding the fleet number on my phone and it was on the 14s then 

2861 is still going strong on the x26 was doing the 26A tonight between darlington and catterick

4649 has been towed away from Faverdale by Ian Bradley - at a guess it might be going for a new engine.

Just leaving Middlesbrough Bus Station on the 22 now.

It is still in the standard livery.
Saw it at 1325 on the 22, so will it come straight back to Middlesbrough as a 22?
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2015
They'll need to take it off by Redcar bus station as if it goes much past that it will be an open topper

Meanwhile we had 1451 on the 5's as it had to replace 1555 this morning at 1005. 1512 was already on in place of 1553.
