(17 Feb 2017, 3:55 pm)Jamie M Spare vehicles are used for metro replacement from almost any depot. Omnidekkas are always preferable as they can hold 6 push chairs. 6133 is a usual suspect along with 6016, 3966/7 and 3963. Given this was true of the FLE->Monkseaton and a few other replacements, I'd say it's not as depot specific as you'd think.

and it's a Sunday, where all the B9's won't be needed.

(17 Feb 2017, 10:50 pm)Sinky19 I was out in Bishop Auckland today and I noticed that Crook Depot's 6146 has gained a private registration plate X21 GNE, if I remember correctly it was originally YN55 NFE.It changed a couple of weeks ago, I think it's one of the better private registrations as it has some relevance to the vehicle and can be tossed onto any vehicle that happens to use the service in the future - and still retain relevance. The others just seem to be kept for the sakes of being kept.
