Yes, the 5 is still officially allocated Streetlites. However, at present with Stockton operating a reduced PVR, vehicles which are due for 28-day inspections are the Covid Reverse fleet for the week - and this week that includes 2 Streetlites. Plus, don't forget that 1556 is on-loan to Darlington.
Also, a number of the early morning journeys from Easington to Middlesbrough are Pulsar-operated running onto 8s etc. Plus one of the evening turns on 5s is also booked for a Pulsar running off 8/17/17a (weekdays) or 28/28a (Saturdays).
