There has been a lot of changes at Stagecoach North East in the last month, which has also seen six Dart SLFs leave the fleet - 34607 joining already reported 34612/14 at Stagecoach South West and 34566, 34608/15 have transferred to Stagecoach South. Dart SLFs 35155/57/58 have transferred from Sunderland, where they were the last Dart SLFs on the allocation, to Hartlepool. Hartlepool has also received MAN/Enviro 200s 39710-14 from South Shields. Walkergate has received Enviro 400s 19196/97 from South Shields along Reserve Fleet 19647. Now allocated to South Shields are Enviro 400s 19641/43-46. The allocation of new Enviro 300s to Stockton has seen the transfer of MAN/ALX300s 22202/04/10/11 and 22674 to the Reserve Fleet, whilst 22469/71/75 are now for disposal. Also for disposal, having previously been in the Reserve Fleet are Dart SLF 34401 and MAN/ALX300 22734 from the Reserve Fleet are also now for disposal. Also for disposal is MAN/ALX300 22666 from the Training fleet.

The better news is they've managed to allocate the Dotty ones to Dotty routes today - 4 are on 59/61 (27244/6/51/2), 27247 on 58/35 and 27242 on 52/35. No sign of 27241 but I've not seen all 6 59s yet.
EDIT: 27245 makes up the fifth 'Dotty' 59/61 (27164 being the sixth one and the all-nighter). 27241 is either therefore spare or on 52/35 as there's 3 unbranded examples on 'The Zone' and the 3 58/35s are odd workings.

The colour route number 144x19 LED destination on Go North East's "Angel" branded Volvo B5LH 6070 recently encountered an issue, so Hanover fitted a standard 144x19 display while the colour panel was being repaired.
I appreciate rear displays aren't as important, but I'd expect the display to be replaced temporarily all the same.
