The arrival of 9104 at Hexham has released MPD 559 for cascade. Although presently at Riverside Depot, it is due to transfer to Deptford.
(25 Feb 2016, 5:06 pm)Dan No - 548 has a while left yet.
(25 Feb 2016, 5:17 pm)Davie Will 542 be withdrawn when the 93S finishes?
(23 Feb 2016, 7:47 am)S813 FVK Ah right. I was lucky to see all 3 but i saw 4929 at the bottom of South Moor, then passed what looked like 4930 (could make out what i thout was an ETN in the reg and no, it wasnt 4896) on what appeared to be a 78 that i thought was Stanley operated (07:55 from Consett). Then obviously, i saw 3878 coming in just as i was about to walk into the building at school.

(25 Feb 2016, 5:25 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com I hope it transfers to Stanley to prevent 547 going on the ventures or 16Stanley don't need another MPD, we'd just get more complaints about it working peak time journeys on the 6/X70/X71.
(25 Feb 2016, 5:27 pm)S813 FVK Just a quick update on this:
This morning, i passed the same journey and 5401 was allocated meaning that this journey is indeed operated by Chester-le-Street. This therefore confirms that 4930 was not on loan to Stanley. The journey around that time when the B10s were on there was operated by Stanley depot so automatically thought that it was still operated by Stanley.

(25 Feb 2016, 6:12 pm)Davie I think it could act as a spare for the 38/238 or possibly 33/33A/39.
