9108-9142 (i think) were all used when 6008-6042 were still on loan and were not fully purchased. However, 9131, 9132 and 9133 appear to have been used since then and now 9120 is been reused. I dont think Go North East care about using the fleet numbers in the 91-- series more than once as much as they do in the main fleet.

The Connections 4 Merc which has gone orange is also showing "Houghton-le-Spr", rather than the "Houghton-le-Spring" display shown with the white/blue number on the branded vehicles.

Once when I asked a former OK driver (a select few will know she is Wink) about what happened when she moved from OK to Go Northern, she said when OK were acquired by GN, their vehicles were all given 'temporary' fleet numbers until they were 'merged' into the normal fleet numbers.

Return is cheaper than the metro

There was a red arrows B9 heading through Newbottle towards Houghton at about quarter to 2200 not in service. I wonder if something has broken down, and it was heading to pick up the 2200 departure from Easington Lane...

Crook will surely continue to operate the college dupe with 6038, chester will only operate the peak X21s.
