The four former Peterlee-based Transbus MPD/Transbus Mini Pointer vehicles - 564 (NK53 TLO), 565 (NK53 TLU), 573 (NK53 TMY) and 574 (NK53 TMZ) - have all now returned to service at Deptford following repaint into Go North East's corporate livery, and this has set the ball rolling with some cascades. As noted above, plain yellow base liveried Dennis MPD/Transbus Mini Pointer 542 (NA52 AXG) has transferred to Crook, with the primary intention of covering for "The OK Way" branded Transbus MPD/Transbus Mini Pointer 571 (NK53 TMV) which is currently at Chester-le-Street undergoing manual ramp conversion.
Deptford's Mercedes Citaro 0530N/Mercedes Citaro 5306 (NK08 CHO) is still at Saltmeadows Road undergoing repaint, and has since been joined by 5307 (NK08 CHV). Stanley's Mercedes Citaro 0530N/Mercedes Citaro 5286 (NK08 CFV) is the next former "Diamond" branded example to arrive at Saltmeadows Road for repaint, taking the place of 5291 (NK08 CGG) which is now back at Stanley.
