(14 Dec 2017, 3:49 pm)Ds1197 Seen 2 streetdecks in Low fell I'm guessing they were heading for Chester-le-Street depot
Following the recent pattern of the Merc's going for refurb id have thought this week would have been the last ones being sent away. However 5309 is still in service today
Are there any other Streetdecks apart from 6319 is as just got a photo of it and saw one in the Depot when drove past

My question is how long will 6070 last in the Night Angel scheme and will it be back in service in that livery after its visit to Volvo Washington where it has been hiding from me this week.

Just to pick up on a couple of things.
5338 doesn't have headrests. I would have thought the refurb would have been the ideal opportunity to get it sorted, rather than cover the existing seats.
Granted it's a little older than the native examples, but surely a standard spec would go down well?
It goes like a stink, but the glitch with interior lighting was noticeable. The offside lighting kept switching itself off.
One of the new 21's had issues in Eldon Square earlier, with passengers transferred to one behind. The one behind was a Chester run, so it left a gap of an hour for those wanting to get to Durham.
I believe it/or another dropped in at Durham to return to Newcastle.
On a B5 hybrid tonight and the damp patch/condensation on the upper saloon roof was pretty minging. Apart from the discolouring, I can't imagine getting 'dropped' on is too pleasant.
I would hope an internal inspection uncovers the issue.

(15 Dec 2017, 7:46 pm)S813 FVK Nothing available to properly replace it at Washington yet if it is indeed due to move elsewhere. Wouldn't be surprised if 5324 ends up heading back there too.
