(08 Aug 2015, 11:57 pm)Diamond One Today am looking forward to the fleet news and hopefully should be posted asap but I say around 6ish but that's my prediction

Like it has been said to you before Bazza, Dan has a life outside of NEB. He may be doing something with his friends or family for all we know.

(09 Aug 2015, 3:45 am)Dan Yes - will be pretty late evening today.

Take as long as you like with the news. It is just a combination of what has been posted on the forums a majority of the time with only 1 or 2 new bits.

(09 Aug 2015, 6:52 am)cbma06 Last day of yellow mpds at Peterlee

God rid of the image but the WTX with the rear advert is 5335 - don't know if that is any use to anybody but i can remember seeing it at Seaham the other week. 

Note that the red MPD that Fozz was on about seeing the other day/week also appears to be parked up there. Looks like it is 548 as opposed to 562.

Northern MPD 547 was out on the 201 yesterday lunchtime so it could be that.

Don't suppose anyone knows what's out on the 59 today?

Ah right. Just Fozz described it has having interior NTL branding still of which only 548 and 562 could possibly have. It was a few days ago like.

I would imagine an East Durham/Yellow MPD will be on the 59.

Cheers, shame the number couldn't be changed to fit in with the current 2 series of numbers for the Inigo brand.... could change it to 259.

238 should be changed to 38B with the 239 on a night operating as the 38D.

Think it could have given the number 59 to fit in with the Scarlet Band 58 which the 59 follows much of that route and also the Arriva 56/57/57A routes. Also may be wrong but I think there already was a 259 East Durham service at the time, if not there certainly was a 259 at one point.

There was a 259 service but was replaced. Believe i still have a timetable for the services.

I think the 59 is to cover for the Scarlet Band 58 which doesnt run on Sundays (although not the full route).

Ah right, i think there was a 259 but i ran every few hours before they changed the "East Durham" network.

When the younger MPD's transfer to Deptford today/tomorrow will they get repainted to "Go North East" or will they just stay as "Yellow".

If Deptford are getting 4 MPD's from Peterlee, where will the other 2 go, as there is 6 - 53 reg MPD's at Peterlee, will they get moved to other depots for spares?

The 259 ran alongside the 262 between Durham and High Pittington. They services split at Dragon Lane Tesco and the 259 did an anti-clockwise loop around High Pittingham and Sherburn etc and the 262 did a clockwise loop. The service was every 2 hours (hourly combined with the 262).
