Recently seen active in Darlington are 2856 and 7518. Transfers or loans ? Or do they just need to stretch their pistons !

2856 by all accounts is a permanent fixture again at Darlington, if plans still as they were a larger solo is getting transferred up to Redcar/Whitby, but due to the amount of VOR (vehicles off road) none of these changed have happened yet, unless they’ve sent 1760 up to Redcar/Whitby instead

(10 Jun 2021, 6:39 am)mb134 wrote They're now Ashington based, yes. There are no MPD boards on the 57 now.So I presume that means 2849/43 have replaced the MPDs. Now that means we just have to see how long till the quick links to Darlington branding is removed from them.
7411 also now Ashington based.

Or they could be the three Omnilinks which weren't included in the sale...it's very possible these could transfer to Arriva NE as Arriva Yorkshire (where the rest of Tiger's newer vehicles have ended up) don't have any Scania vehicles.Hopefully it'll be the omnilinks, prehaps they could replace the CP omnicities or Ashington ones.
