(27 Dec 2017, 2:15 pm)Michael Should be, looks like there's 8 in service with another 4 nearing service.
Hopefully with SM open this week, a few more Hybrids get repainted, and head to Percy Main, even if not branded.
(27 Dec 2017, 2:23 pm)S813 FVK 6060 made its way to Percy Main around lunchtime.

(27 Dec 2017, 2:35 pm)Dan Nine in service now, with 6323 being the latest to enter service today. 6321 was collected by Chester-le-Street from Saltmeadows Road about an hour ago, so should be on the road tomorrow.
The two delivered today (6318/26) should be in service by the end of the week all being well, but they're likely to be the last until around w/c 8th January, even if the other four at Heysham Docks are delivered this week.
6056/61 in service today on the 327. Driver familiarisation still incomplete so won't be used on the Coaster just yet.
6060, as stated, was collected by Percy Main from Saltmeadows Road just before noon (along with 5261 which has just been painted in fleet livery).
6062 and 6063 are the latest Hybrids to be released for repaint. All being well; one branded first thing on Friday morning and collected by Percy Main on the afternoon, with the other being branded on Saturday and collected by Percy Main early next week.
So Chester-le-Street have yet to displace 5 further Hybrids. Imagine a few more will be drip-fed to Saltmeadows Road either tomorrow or Friday.

I thought the bridge at west Kirkby stephen prevented deckers from taking the A685 from Tebay - Krikby Stephen.
