Earlier in the week (Monday I think), the two OK livery darts were behind tow trucks heading up the A167 towards Chester?
Any ideas?
Both VOR since 05/03/15, so probably the day before when they were heading to Chester-le-Street.

Never saw them for ages.
3870 and 3874 are the examples VOR. The former is currently at Smiles Engineering with an engine issue, whilst the latter is undergoing repair at Percy Main. Both have been VOR since mid-February.
I believe that Percy Main has six Volvo B7TLs and five Dennis Tridents spare. Seven of these are required for scholars services, meaning that Percy Main can cover a DFDS PVR of up to 8 vehicles using the four branded vehicles and four red spare double deckers (if no double deckers are VOR). Anything extra (which in recent weeks the PVR of the 327 has been up to 10 vehicles) has to be covered by Riverside.
