Following its RTC a little while ago, which had been noted on the forum, 5165 is now back in service at Percy Main. It has gained a new front end, which sees the removal of the chrome bar which the ex-Oxford B10BLEs have and also the removal of "Northern" logos.

The Coffee Cart was out yesterday promoting the "Fab Fifty Six" in Gateshead - photos below:

I went to Winlaton yesterday to get some photographs of the depot - won't be long before these are scenes which can no longer be caught!

5276 appears to have lost its rear "Blaydon Racers" branding - I'm not sure why, but assume it's been in an RTC like 5165 at some point and it has not been replaced. It looks pretty odd without the branding!

8231 is now at Chester-le-Street temporarily, following its brief stint at Stanley. It was on everyone's favourite service yesterday...the 71!

26A is no more now, and last night provided the opportunity to get an old Fab56 with a new Fab56.
