Just been paying my last respects to Jesmond tonight. Front door open and 9 solos visible inside, as well as Streetlite 1582 in the works area. I'm guessing that the solos were used by Darlo drivers in the transfer of 2707-14 to Faverdale earlier today. Arriva vehicles at Stagecoach's Walkergate depot are parked in lines nearest the Metro tracks, so not easily visible from Shields Road.

For the record, the solos at Walkergate are 2816/20/23/30/32/36/38/39/46. Most of these have spent their working lives in Co Durham and Teesside, but 2816/46, at least, have been allocated to Jesmond before.

RIP Jesmond, I won't be sneaking in there to get bus numbers any more !
