In other news, Dennis Trident 3870 has returned to Percy Main following its loan to Deptford. The vehicle was surplus to requirements, following the withdrawal of service X3. Similar 3858/59/71 all remain in use at Deptford, with 3858/59 on 9s today and 3871 on the Fast Cats.
I can remember getting on X3 several times at Gateshead going east when it was booked Citaros running every 30 min and it was full and standing. Let's hope GNE don't ruin the X7 like they have the X3, so in a year or two it's timetabled Middlesbrough to Grangetown five times a day!
